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.

7 is_good a _name more_than _ointment good and_the _day _of (the)_death more_than _the _day _of his _being _born.

2 is_good to_go to a _house _of mourning more_than _to _go to a _house _of a _feast because_what it is_the _end _of every _of the_humankind and_the _living_person he _will _give to his/its_heart.

3 is_good vexation more_than _laughter if/because by_sadness _of face a _heart it _will _be _good.

4 the_heart _of wise _people in_house _of mourning and_the_heart _of fools in_house _of rejoicing.

5 is_good to_listen _to the_rebuke _of a _wise_person from_man who_listens _to the_song _of fools.

6 If/because like_the _sound _of (the)_thorns under the_pot so the _laughter _of the _fool and_also this is_futility.

7 If/because (the)_oppression it _will _make _look _foolish a _wise_person and_it _will _destroy a _bribe DOM a _heart.

8 is_good the_end _of a _matter more_than _of_its _beginning is_good a_person_long _of spirit more_than _a_person_haughty _of spirit.

9 Do _not be _hasty in_spirit _of_your to_become _angry if/because anger in_the _bosom _of fools it _settles.

10 Do _not say why was _it (cmp)_the_days (the)_former they _were good from_these if/because not from_wisdom you _have _asked on this.

11 is_good wisdom with an _inheritance and_is_an _advantage to_those _who_see _of (of)_the_sun.

12 If/because (in)_the_shade of _(the)_wisdom (in)_the_shade of _(the)_money and_the_advantage _of knowledge (the)_wisdom it _preserves _alive owners _of_its.

13 Consider DOM the _work _of the_ʼElohīm if/because who is _he _able to_make _straight DOM that_which he_has _bent _it.

14 In/on_day good be in_good and_on_a _day _of adversity consider also DOM this exactly_as _of this he _has _made the_ʼElohīm on cause _of that_not he _will _find _out the_humankind after_him anything.

15 DOM (the)_everything I _have _seen in_the _days _of my _futility _of_my there_is a _righteous_person who_perishes in_righteousness _of_his and_there_is a _wicked_person who_prolongs in_evil _of_his.

16 Do _not be righteous greatly and_do _not make _yourself _wise excessively to/for_what will _you _destroy _yourself.

17 Do _not be _wicked greatly and_do _not be a _fool to/for_what will _you _die at_not time _of_your.

18 is_good (cmp) you _will _take _hold on_this and_also from_this do _not give _rest _to DOM hand _of_your if/because one_fearing _of (of)_god he _will _go _out DOM of _them _of_all.

19 (the)_wisdom it _gives _strength to_person from_ten rulers who they _are in_city.

20 If/because anyone there_is_not righteous on _the_earth who he _does good and_not he _sins.

21 Also to/from_all/each/any/every the_words/messages which people _speak do _not give heart _of_your that not you _will _hear DOM servant _of_your cursing _of_you.

22 If/because also times many heart _of_your it _knows (cmp) also you[fn] you _have _cursed others.

23 All _of this I _have _put _to _the _test by_wisdom I _said let _me _be _wise and_she was_far from_me.

24 is_far _away whatever (that)_it_has _been and_deep deep who will_he _find _it _out.

25 I _turned I (and)_heart _of_my to_know and_to_examine and_ wisdom _to _seek and_the_scheme _of _things and_to_ wickedness _know stupidity and_the_folly madness(es).

26 And_was_finding I bitter more_than _death DOM the_woman who she is_snares and_is_nets her/its_heart are_fetters hands _of_her a_person_good to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_ʼElohīm he _escapes from_her/it and_a _sinner he _is _captured by_her.

27 Consider this I _have _found Teacher she _said one to_one to_find the_scheme _of _things.

28 Which again it _has _sought self _of_my and_not I _have _found a _man one of_a _thousand I _have _found and_a _woman among_all _of these not I _have _found.

29 Only_only consider this I _have _found (cmp) he _made the_ʼElohīm DOM the_humankind upright and_they they _have _sought schemes many.
