Note: These word pages enable you to click through to the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) that the Open English Translation Old Testament is translated from. The OSHB is based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). (We are still searching for a digitized facsimile of the Leningradensis manuscript that we can easily link to. See this list and this archive for now.) This is all part of the commitment of the Open English Translation team to be transparent about all levels of the Bible translation process right back to the original manuscripts.

OET-LV: 15 Does_it _glorify _itself the_axe above the_one_who_cuts in/on/over_him/it or does _it _magnify _itself the_saw above the_one _of_who_wields _it as_wields a _rod and_DOM those _of_who_lift _it as_lifts a _staff not wood. (ISA_10:15)

OET-RV: 15 Will the axe say its greater than the person who swings it?
⇔ ≈ Will the saw praise itself more than the one who uses it?
⇔ As if a rod could move those who are lifting it up,
⇔ ≈ or a staff could lift up what’s not made from wood. (ISA 10:15)
