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.

12 And_remember DOM your(pl)_of_creator(s) in_the _days _of your _youth(s)_of_your until that not the _days _of (the)_evil they _will _come and_ years which you _will _say there_is_not to_me in/among_them pleasure _they _will _arrive.

2 Until that not the_sun and_the_light and_the_moon and_the_stars it _will _become _dark and_ the_clouds _they _will _return after the_rain.

3 In _the_day when_ those _who_keep _of (of)_the_house _they _will _tremble and_ the _people _of (the)_strength _they _will _bend _themselves and_ the_female_grinders _they _will _cease if/because they _have _become _few and_ the_women_who_look in_windows _they _will _grow _dim.

4 And_ the_doors _they _will _be _shut _up on_street when_ the _sound _of the _grinding _mill _becomes _low and_someone _will _arise to_sound/voice of _(the)_bird and_ all _of the _daughters _of (the)_song _they _will _be _reduced.

5 Also from_a _high_place people _will _be _afraid and_terrors are_in_way and_ the _almond_tree _it _will _bloom and_ the_grasshopper _it _will _drag _itself _along and_ the_caper-berry _it _will _fail if/because the_humankind is_going to the _house _of its _perpetuity _of_his and_they _will _go _about in_street[fn][fn][fn] the_mourners.

6 Until that not it _will _be _snapped[fn] the _cord _of (the)_silver and_ the _bowl _of the_gold _it _will _be _crushed and_ the_jar _it _will _be _broken at the _water_spring and_ the_water_wheel _it _will _be _crushed to the_well.

7 And_ the_dust _it _will _return to the_earth/land just_as_it _was and_the_spirit it _will _return to the_ʼElohīm who he_gave _it.

8 Futility _of futilities the_Teacher he _said (the)_everything is_futility.

9 And_excess that_ Teacher _he _was wise again he _taught knowledge DOM the_people and_he _weighed and_he _searched _out he _arranged _in _order proverbs many.

10 Teacher he _sought to_find words/messages _of delight and_that _which _was_written uprightness was_words/messages _of truth.

11 The_words/messages _of wise_people are_like_goads and_are_like_nails firmly _fixed masters _of collections they _are _given from_a _shepherd one.

12 And_excess more_than _them my _child _of_my be _warned to _make books many there_is_not an _end and_study much is_weariness _of flesh.

13 The_end _of the_matter (the)_everything it _has _been _heard DOM the_ʼElohīm fear and_DOM commands _of_his keep if/because this is_all _of the_humankind.

14 If/because DOM every _of deed the_ʼElohīm he _will _bring in_judgement with every _of hidden_thing whether good and_if evil.
