This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

11 Send bread _of_your on the _surface _of the_waters if/because in _(the)_abundance _of the_days you_will _find _it.

2 Give a _portion to_seven and_also to_eight if/because not you _know what will _it _be calamity on the_earth/land.

3 If they _will _be _filled the_clouds rain on the_earth/land they _will _pour_it_out and_if it _falls a _tree at_south and_if at_north the _place _of (of)_where_it _falls the_tree there it _will _become.

4 one _who_watches _of a _wind not he _will _sow and_one _who_looks on_clouds not he _will _reap.

5 Just_as not_you are_knowing what is_the _way _of the _wind like_bones in_the _womb _of the _full_woman thus not you _know DOM the _work _of the_ʼElohīm who he _makes DOM (the)_everything.

6 In_morning sow DOM seed _of_your and_to_evening do _not give _rest _to hand _of_your if/because not_you are_knowing[fn] where this will _it _succeed this or this and_if both _of_them as_one be_good.

7 And_is_sweet the_light and_good for_eyes to_see DOM the_sun.

8 If/because if years many he _will _live the_humankind in_all _of_of _them let _him _take _pleasure and_let _him _remember DOM the _days _of the_darkness if/because many they _will _be all that_it _has _come is_futility.

9 Take _pleasure Oh _young _man in_youth(s)_of_your and_let_it _make _you _good heart _of_your in_the _days _of your _youth(s)_of_your and_walk in_the _ways _of your _heart _of_your and_in_the _sight _of your _two’s _eyes _of_your and_know if/because _that on all _of these_things he_will _bring _you the_ʼElohīm in_judgement.

10 And_remove vexation from_heart _of_your and_put _away evil from_flesh _of_your if/because (the)_youth and_the _black_hair are_futility.

11:6 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
