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.

13 And_I_gave DOM heart_of_my to_study and_to_discover by_wisdom on all that it_has_been_done under the_heavens it is_a_business evil which_he_has_given god to_the_children_of the_humankind to_be_busy in/on/over_him/it.

15 that_which_is_bent not it_is_able to_become_straight and_something_missing not it_is_able to_be_numbered.

17 And_I_gave heart_of_my to_know wisdom and_to_know madness(es) and_folly I_knew (cmp)_also this it is_a_striving_of wind.
18 If/because is_in_abundance_of wisdom abundance_of frustration and_someone_will_increase knowledge he_will_increase pain.
2 I_said I in_heart_of_my come please let_me_put_you_to_the_test with_pleasure and_look on_good and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE also it was_futility.
2 Of_laughter I_said it_is_mad and_of_pleasure what this is_it_doing.
3 I_searched in_heart_of_my to_gratify with_wine DOM flesh_of_my and_heart_of_my was_guiding with_wisdom and_to_take_hold on_folly until that I_saw where this is_good for_the_children_of the_humankind which they_will_do under the_heavens the_number_of the_days_of their_lives_of_their.

5 I_made to_me gardens and_parks and_I_planted in/among_them tree[s]_of every_of fruit.

9 And_I_became_great and_I_increased from_all one_who_he_was to/for_my_face/front in_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) also wisdom_of_my it_remained to/for_me.
10 And_all/each/any/every that they_asked eyes_of_my not I_withheld from_them not I_restrained DOM heart_of_my from_all pleasure if/because heart_of_my was_joyful from_all toil_of_my and_this it_was reward_of_my from_all toil_of_my.
11 And_I_turned I in_all works_of_my hands_of_my which_they_had_done and_on_toil which_I_had_toiled for_doing and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE (the)_everything was_futility and_striving_of wind and_there_was_not advantage under the_sun.
12 And_I_turned I to_ wisdom _see and_madness(es) and_folly if/because what the_humankind who_he_will_come after the_king DOM that_which already people_have_done_it.
13 And_I_saw I (cmp)_there_is advantage of_wisdom more_than (the)_folly like_the_advantage_of the_light more_than the_darkness.
14 The_wise_person eyes_of_his are_in_head_of_his and_the_fool in_darkness is_walking and_I_knew also I (cmp)_fate one it_will_happen_to DOM of_them_of_all.
15 And_I_said I in_heart_of_my like_the_fate_of the_fool also me it_will_happen_to_me and_for_what have_I_become_wise I then excessively and_I_said in_heart_of_my (cmp)_also this is_futility.
16 If/because there_is_not remembrance_of man with the_fool for_a_long_time in_that_already the_days the_(ones_who)_went (the)_everything it_has_been_forgotten and_how he_will_die the_wise_person with the_fool.
17 And_I_hated DOM (the)_life if/because was_evil on_me the_work which_it_was_done under the_sun if/because (the)_everything is_futility and_striving_of wind.
18 And_I_hated I DOM all_of toil_of_my which_I was_toiling under the_sun that_I_will_leave_it to_person who_he_will_be after_me.
19 And_who is_knowing a_wise_person will_he_be or a_fool and_he_will_have_power in_all toil_of_my which_I_have_toiled and_which_I_have_been_wise under the_sun also this is_futility.
20 And_I_turned I to_make_despair DOM heart_of_my on all_of the_toil which_I_have_toiled under the_sun.
21 If/because there_is a_person who_toil_of_his was_with_wisdom and_with_knowledge and_with_skill and_to/for_humankind who_not he_toiled in/on/over_him/it he_will_give_it portion_of_his also this is_futility and_an_evil great.
22 If/because what is_becoming to_person in_all toil_of_his and_in_the_striving_of his_heart_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which_he was_toiling under the_sun.
23 If/because all_of his/its_days are_pains and_is_vexation business_of_his also in_night not his/its_heart it_rests also this is_futility it.
24 There_is_not good for_person (cmp)_he_will_eat and_he_will_drink and_he_will_show DOM self_of_his good in_toil_of_his also this I_have_seen I if/because_that is_from_the_hand_of the_ʼElohīm it.
25 If/because who will_he_eat and_who will_he_enjoy outside from_me.
26 If/because to/for_ʼĀdām/humankind who_is_good before_him he_gives wisdom and_knowledge and_joy and_to_sinner he_gives the_business to_gather and_to_gather to_give_it to_a_person_good to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm also this is_futility and_striving_of wind.
3 belongs_to_everything an_appointed_time and_a_time to/from_all/each/any/every matter under the_heavens.
2 a_time to_give_birth and_a_time to_die a_time to_plant and_a_time to_pluck_up that_which_is_planted.
3 A_time to_kill and_a_time to_heal a_time to_break_down and_a_time to_build.
4 A_time to_weep and_a_time to_laugh a_time_of to_mourn and_a_time_of to_leap_about.
5 A_time to_throw_away stones and_a_time_of to_gather stones a_time to_embrace and_a_time to_be_far from_embracing.
6 A_time to_seek and_a_time to_count_as_lost a_time to_keep and_a_time to_throw_away.
7 A_time to_tear and_a_time to_sew a_time to_be_silent and_a_time to_speak.
8 A_time to_love and_a_time to_hate a_time_of warfare and_a_time_of peace.
9 what is_the_advantage_of the_one_who_works in_that_which he was_toiling.
10 I_have_seen DOM the_business which he_has_given god to_the_children_of the_humankind to_be_busy in/on/over_him/it.
11 DOM (the)_everything he_has_made beautiful in_time_of_its also DOM (the)_perpetuity he_has_put in_heart_of_their from_not_of which not he_will_find the_humankind DOM the_work which he_has_done the_ʼElohīm from_beginning and_unto end.
12 I_know if/because_that there_is_not good for_them if/because (if) to_rejoice and_to_do good in_life_of_his.
13 And_also every_of the_humankind who_he_will_eat and_he_will_drink and_he_will_see good in_all toil_of_his is_a_gift_of god it.
14 I_know if/because_that all that he_does the_ʼElohīm it it_will_be forever_perpetuity on/upon/above_him/it there_is_not to_add and_from_it there_is_not to_take_away and_(the)_god he_has_acted that_people_will_fear from_before_face_of_him.
15 Whatever (that)_it_is has_been_already it and_which to_be already it_has_been and_(the)_god he_will_seek DOM that_which_was_pursued.
16 And_again I_have_seen under the_sun the_place_of (the)_justice was_(to)_(to) (the)_wickedness and_the_place_of (the)_righteousness was_(to)_(to) (the)_wickedness.
17 I_said I in_heart_of_my DOM the_righteous and_DOM the_wicked he_will_judge the_ʼElohīm if/because a_time to/from_all/each/any/every matter and_on every_of (the)_deed there.
18 I_said I in_heart_of_my on the_cause_of the_children_of the_humankind to_test_them the_ʼElohīm and_to_see (cmp)_they are_animal[s] they to/for_them.
19 If/because the_fate of_the_children_of the_humankind and_the_fate the_cattle/livestock and_fate one to/for_them like_the_death_of this so the_death_of this and_spirit one belongs_to_all and_the_advantage_of the_humankind is_more_than the_cattle/livestock not if/because (the)_everything is_futility.
20 (the)_everything is_going to place one (the)_everything it_was from the_dust and_(the)_everything is_returning to the_dust.
21 Who is_knowing the_spirit_of the_children_of the_humankind which_is_going_up it (to)_upwards and_spirit the_cattle/livestock which_is_going_down it (to)_downwards to_earth.
22 And_I_saw if/because_that there_is_not good more_than_that he_will_take_pleasure the_humankind in_work(s)_of_his if/because it portion_of_is_his if/because who will_he_bring_him to_see on_whatever (that)_it_will_be after_him.
4 And_I_returned I and_I_saw DOM all_of the_oppression(s) which were_being_done under the_sun and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE the_tear[s]_of the_oppressed and_there_was_not to/for_them a_comforter and_was_from_the_hand_of their_oppressors power and_there_was_not to/for_them a_comforter.
2 And_I_commended I DOM the_dead_people who_already they_had_died more_than the_living who they were_alive pleasure_still.
3 And_good more_than_of_both_of_them DOM one_who still not he_has_been one_who not he_has_seen DOM the_activity (the)_evil which it_is_done under the_sun.
4 And_I_considered I DOM all_of the_toil and_DOM all_of the_skill_of the_work (cmp) it is_envy_of everyone from_neighbour_of_his also this is_futility and_striving_of wind.
5 The_fool is_folding DOM hands_of_his and_he_is_eating DOM flesh_of_his_own.
6 is_good the_fullness_of a_palm_of quietness more_than_the_fullness_of the_hollow_of_hands toil and_striving_of wind.
7 And_I_returned I and_I_saw futility under the_sun.
8 There_was one_person and_there_was_not a_second_person also a_son and_a_brother there_belonged_not to_him/it and_there_was_not an_end to/from_all/each/any/every toil_of_his also eye_of_his[fn] not it_was_satisfied wealth and_for_whom am_I toiling and_depriving DOM self_of_my from_good also this is_futility and_is_a_business evil it.
9 are_good (the)_two_people more_than the_one that there_is to/for_them a_reward good for_toil_of_their.
10 If/because if they_will_fall_down the_one he_will_raise DOM companion_of_his and_woe_to_him the_one who_he_will_fall_down and_there_is_not a_second_person to_raise_him.
11 Also if they_will_lie_down two_people and_it_will_be_warm to/for_them and_to_one_person how will_it_be_warm.
12 And_if someone_will_overpower_him the_one the_two_people they_will_stand before_him and_the_thread (the)_threefold not (in)_quickly it_will_be_torn_apart.
13 is_good a_youth poor and_wise more_than_a_king old and_a_fool who not he_knows to_be_warned still.
14 If/because from_the_house_of the_prisoners he_came_out to_become_king if/because also in_his_own_of_kingdom he_had_been_born poor.
15 I_saw DOM all_of the_living who_are_walking_about under the_sun with the_youth the_second who he_will_arise in_place_of_him.
16 There_is_not an_end to/from_all/each/any/every the_people to_all/each/any/every those_whom he_was before_them also the_subsequent_people not they_will_rejoice in_him/it if/because also this is_futility and_a_striving_of wind.
17 [fn] guard foot_of_your[fn] just_as you_will_go to the_house_of the_ʼElohīm and_draw_near to_listen more_than_to_give the_fools a_sacrifice if/because not_they are_knowing for_doing evil.
5 [fn] do_not be_hasty on mouth_of_your and_heart_of_your not let_it_hasten to_bring_forth a_matter to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm if/because the_ʼElohīm is_in_heavens and_you(ms) are_on the_earth/land therefore yes/correct/thus/so[fn] let_them_be words/messages_of_your few.
2 [fn] if/because it_comes the_dream with_abundance_of business and_the_voice_of a_fool with_a_multitude_of words/messages.
3 [fn] just_as you_will_vow a_vow to_god do_not delay to_pay_it if/because there_is_not pleasure in_fools DOM that_which you_will_vow pay.
4 [fn] is_good (cmp) not you_will_vow more_than_(cmp)_you_will_vow[fn][fn][fn] and_not you_will_pay.
5 [fn] do_not permit DOM mouth_of_your to_cause_to_sin DOM flesh_of_your and_do_not say to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_messenger if/because_that was_inadvertence it to/for_what will_he_be_angry the_ʼElohīm towards voice_of_your and_he_will_ruin DOM the_work_of your_two’s_hands_of_your.
6 [fn] if/because in_abundance_of dreams and_futilities and_words/messages many if/because DOM the_ʼElohīm fear.
7 [fn] if oppression_of one_who_is_poor and_robbery_of justice and_righteousness you_will_see in_province do_not be_astonished on the_matter if/because a_high_one from_under a_high_one[fn][fn][fn] is_watching and_high_ones over_them.
8 [fn] and_the_profit_of a_land is_in_everything it[fn] a_king to_a_field he_has_been_served.
9 [fn] one_who_loves silver not he_will_be_satisfied silver and_whoever is_loving (in)_wealth not income also this is_futility.
10 [fn] when_increases the_good they_increase those_of_who_consume_it and_what profit belongs_to_owner(s)_of_its if/because (if) the_sight_of[fn] his_eyes_of_his.
11 [fn] is_sweet the_sleep_of the_labourer whether a_little and_if much he_will_eat and_the_plenty of_person not_it is_permitting to_him/it to_sleep.
12 [fn] there_is an_evil severe which_I_have_seen under the_sun wealth was_being_kept by_owner(s)_of_its to_harm_of_his.
13 [fn] and_it_was_lost the_wealth (the)_that in_a_business evil and_he_fathered a_son and_there_was_not in_his/its_hand anything.
14 [fn] just_as he_came_out from_the_womb_of his/its_mother naked he_will_return to_go just_as_he_came and_anything not he_will_carry in_toil_of_his which_he_will_take in_his/its_hand.
15 [fn] and_also this is_an_evil severe as_to exactly_as_of (that)_he_came so he_will_go and_what advantage to_him/it (cmp)_he_will_toil for_wind.
16 [fn] also all_of his/its_days in_darkness he_eats and_he_is_vexed greatly and_sickness_of_his and_anger.
17 [fn] HERE that_which I_have_seen I to_be_good that_which is_beautiful is_to_eat and_to_drink and_to_see good in_all toil_of_his which_someone_will_toil under the_sun the_number_of the_days_of his_life_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm if/because it portion_of_is_his.
18 [fn] also every_of the_humankind whom he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_he_has_given_him_power to_eat from_him/it and_to_receive DOM portion_of_his and_to_take_pleasure in_toil_of_his this is_a_gift_of god it.
19 [fn] if/because not much he_will_remember DOM the_days_of his/its_life if/because the_ʼElohīm is_keeping_him_busy with_the_joy_of his/its_heart.
6 There_is an_evil which I_have_seen under the_sun and_is_great it on the_humankind.
2 Anyone whom he_gives to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_honour and_not_existing_he is_lacking to_appetite_of_his from_all that he_desires and_not he_gives_him_power the_ʼElohīm to_eat from_him/it if/because a_man foreign he_eats_it this is_futility and_is_an_affliction an_evil it.
3 If he_will_father anyone one_hundred_children and_years many he_will_live and_will_be_many that_which_they_will_be the_days_of his_years_of_his and_self_of_his not it_will_be_satisfied from the_good and_also burial not it_belonged for_him/it I_say is_good from_him/it the_miscarriage.
4 If/because in_futility it_came and_in_darkness it_will_go and_in_darkness his/its_name it_is_covered.
5 Also the_sun not it_saw and_not it_knew_it quietness belongs_to_this_one more_than_this_one.
6 And_if he_lived a_thousand years two_times and_good not he_saw not to a_place one are_(the)_all going.
7 All_of the_toil_of the_humankind is_for_mouth_of_his and_also the_living_creatures not it_will_be_filled.
8 If/because what advantage belongs_to_person more_than the_fool what belongs_to_person who_knows to_walk before the_living.
9 is_good the_sight_of eyes more_than_going desire also this is_futility and_striving_of wind.
10 Whatever (that)_it_has_been already it_has_been_named his/its_name and_it_is_known (cmp) he is_human and_not he_is_able to_contend with one_who_is_mighty[fn] more_than_him.
11 If/because there_are words/messages many which_increase futility what advantage belongs_to_person.
12 If/because who is_knowing what is_good for_person in_life the_number_of the_days_of the_life_of his_futility_of_his and_he_spends_them like_shadow that who will_he_tell to_person what will_it_be after_him under the_sun.
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.

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).

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.

3 Do_not be_hasty from_before_of_him you_will_go do_not stand in_a_matter evil if/because all that he_will_desire he_will_do.
4 Because_that a_message_of a_king is_mastery and_who will_he_say to_him/it what are_you_doing.
5 one_who_keeps_of (of)_a_command not he_will_know a_thing evil and_an_appropriate_time and_custom the_heart it_will_know a_wise_person.

9 DOM all_of this I_have_seen and_I_have_given DOM heart_of_my to/from_all/each/any/every deed which it_is_done under the_sun a_time when he_has_power the_humankind over_a_person for_harm to_him/it.
10 And_in_such I_have_seen wicked_people being_buried and_they_came and_from_a_place_of holy they_went and_they_will_be_forgotten in_city where right they_had_done also this is_futility.
11 That not it_is_done the_sentence_of the_deed_of the_evil quickly therefore yes/correct/thus/so it_is_full the_heart_of the_children_of the_humankind (is)_in_them for_doing evil.
12 That a_sinner is_doing evil a_hundred_times_of and_he_is_prolonging to_him/it if/because also am_knowing I (cmp) it_will_belong good to_those_fearing_of the_ʼElohīm that they_fear from_before_face_of_him.
13 And_good not it_will_belong to_wicked and_not he_will_prolong days like_shadow that not_he he_has_feared from_to/for_face/front/presence god.
14 There_is futility which it_is_done on the_earth/land (cmp) there_are righteous_people whom it_is_happening to_them according_to_the_deed[s]_of (the)_wicked_people and_there_are wicked_people whom_it_is_happening to_them according_to_the_deed[s]_of (the)_righteous_people I_said (cmp)_also this is_futility.
15 And_I_commend I DOM (the)_pleasure that there_is_not good for_humankind under the_sun if/because (if) to_eat and_to_drink and_to_rejoice and_he it_will_join_him in_toil_of_his the_days_of his/its_life which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm under the_sun.
16 Just_as I_gave DOM heart_of_my to_know wisdom and_to_see DOM the_business which it_is_done on the_earth/land if/because also in_the_day and_in_the_night sleep with_eyes_of_his not_he is_seeing.
17 And_I_saw DOM all_of the_work_of the_ʼElohīm if/because not he_is_able the_humankind to_find_out DOM the_work which it_is_done under the_sun in_that_(to) that he_toils the_humankind to_seek and_not he_will_find_out and_also if he_will_say the_wise_person to_know not he_will_be_able to_find_out.
9 If/because DOM all_of this I_have_given to heart_of_my and_to_make_clear DOM all_of this (cmp) the_righteous and_the_wise and_deeds_of_their are_in_the_hand_of the_ʼElohīm both love as_well_as hatred not is_knowing the_humankind (the)_everything is_before_of_them.
2 (the)_all just_as for_all fate one belongs_to_righteous and_to_wicked to_good and_to_clean and_to_unclean and_to_who_sacrifices and_to_one_who not_he is_sacrificing as_person as_sinner the_one_who_swears_an_oath just_as an_oath one_fearing.
3 This is_an_evil in_all that it_is_done under the_sun if/because fate one belongs_to_everyone and_also the_heart_of the_children_of the_humankind is_full evil and_madness(es) is_in_heart_of_their in_lives_of_their and_after_it to the_dead_people.
4 If/because who is_the_one_who he_is_united[fn] to all_of the_living there_is hope if/because to_a_dog living it is_good more_than the_lion (the)_dead.
5 If/because the_life are_knowing (cmp)_they_will_die and_the_dead_people not_they are_knowing anything and_there_is_not still to/for_them a_reward if/because memorial_of_their it_is_forgotten.
6 Both love_of_their as_well_as hatred_of_their as_well_as envy_of_their already it_has_perished and_a_portion there_is_not to/for_them again forever_perpetuity in_all that it_is_done under the_sun.
7 Go eat with_joy food_of_your and_drink with_a_heart_of good wine_of_your if/because already he_has_taken_pleasure_in the_ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of_your.
8 In_all time let_them_be clothes_of_your white and_oil on head_of_your not let_it_be_lacking.
9 See life with a_wife whom you_love all_of the_days_of the_life_of your_futility_of_your which he_has_given to/for_yourself(m) under the_sun all_of the_days_of your_futility_of_your if/because it portion_of_is_your in_life and_in_toil_of_your which you are_toiling under the_sun.
10 All that it_finds hand_of_your for_doing with_strength_of_your do if/because there_is_not work and_the_scheme_of_things and_knowledge and_wisdom in_Shəʼōl where you are_going to_(to).
11 I_returned and_I_saw under the_sun if/because_that not belongs_to_ones the_race and_not belongs_to_men the_battle and_also not belongs_to_people food and_also not belongs_to_who_has_understanding wealth and_also not belongs_to_who_has_knowledge favour if/because time and_chance it_happens_to DOM of_them_of_all.
12 If/because also not he_knows the_humankind DOM time_of_his like_fish(es) which_are_caught in_a_net evil and_birds which_are_caught in_snare like_them are_ensnared the_children_of the_humankind to_a_time_of evil when_it_falls on_them suddenly.
13 Also this I_have_seen wisdom under the_sun and_was_great it to_me.
14 A_city small and_men in_it were_few and_he_came to_her/it a_king great and_he_surrounded DOM_her/it and_he_built on/upon_it(f) siege_works great.

17 the_words/messages_of wise_people in_quietness heard are_more_than_the_cry_of a_ruler among_fools.
18 is_good wisdom more_than_weapons_of war and_a_sinner one he_will_destroy good much.
10 Flies_of death it_causes_to_stink it_ferments the_oil_of a_perfumer is_weighty more_than_wisdom more_than_honour folly_of a_little.
2 the_heart a_wise_person is_to_his_right_of_hand and_the_heart a_fool is_to_his_left_of_hand.

4 If the_spirit_of the_ruler it_will_go_up towards_you place_of_your do_not leave if/because health it_will_cause_to_rest sins great.
5 There_is an_evil which_I_have_seen under the_sun like_an_inadvertence which_is_going_forth from_to/for_face/front/presence the_ruler.
6 It_is_put (the)_folly in_(the)_places many and_rich_people in_place they_sit.
7 I_have_seen slaves on horses and_princes who_walk like_slaves on the_earth/land.

11 If it_will_bite the_snake with_not charming and_there_is_not advantage for_the_master_of the_tongue.
12 the_words/messages_of the_mouth_of a_wise_person are_favour and_the_lips_of a_fool it_swallows_him.
13 The_beginning_of the_words/messages_of his_mouth_of_his is_folly and_the_end_of his_mouth_of_his is_madness evil.
14 And_the_fool he_multiplies words/messages not he_knows the_humankind what (that)_will_it_be and_which it_will_be from_after_him who will_he_tell to_him/it.
15 The_toil_of (the)_fools it_wearies_him that not he_knows to_go to a_city.
16 Woe to/for_you(fs) Oh_land which_king_of_your is_a_youth and_princes_of_your in_morning they_eat.

19 For_laughter people_are_making food and_wine it_makes_glad life and_(the)_money it_answers DOM (the)_everything.
20 Also in_mind_of_your a_king do_not curse and_in_the_chambers_of your_lying_down_of_your do_not curse a_rich_person if/because (the)_bird_of the_heavens it_will_carry DOM the_sound and_an_owner_of the[fn] it_will_tell the_matter.
