1.2 KiB
Raw Blame History

Those who are blessed by God will inherit the land; those who are cursed by him will be cut off

This is a contrastive form of Parallelism. Those who are blessed by God in contrast to those who are cursed by God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

Those who are blessed by God

This can be stated as active. Alternate translation: "Those whom God blesses" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

will inherit the land

The possession of the land is spoken of as if it had been received as an inheritance. See how you translated this in Psalms 37:9. Alternate translation: "will receive the land as their own possession" or "will be allowed to live safely in the land" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

those who are cursed by him

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "those whom Yahweh curses" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

will be cut off

The destruction of the wicked is spoken of as if they were a branch of plant that was cut off and thrown away. See how you translated this in Psalms 37:9. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
