This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
18 People who keep themselves separate, seek their own desires,
2 Fools don’t enjoy learning,
^ but always like to make their opinions known.
3 When a wicked person arrives, contempt from others also comes,
≈ and when shame arrives, so does reproach.
4 The utterances from a person’s mouth are deep waters.
≈ A fountain of wisdom produces a flowing stream.
5 It’s not good to show partiality to the wicked
≈ or to deprive an innocent person of justice.
6 The fool’s lips brings strife,
≈ and the fool’s mouth invites a beating.
7 The fool’s mouth will bring ruin,
≈ and the lips of fools are a trap for their minds.
8 ‘News’ snippets from a gossip are like delicious snacks—
→ they get absorbed like food going down into your stomach.
9 The person who is slack in their work,
→ is a cousin to the one who destroys.
10 Yahweh’s name is a strong tower.
→ Godly people run into it to be safe.
11 The rich person’s wealth is like a fortified city,
≈ and in their imagination, like a high wall.
12 Before destruction hits, a person is proud,
^ but humility precedes honour.
13 Someone who answers before they’ve even listened
→ is being foolish and shameful.
14 A person’s spirit can endure through sickness,
^ but who can bear a crushed spirit?
15 Understanding people acquire knowledge,
≈ and wise people want information.
16 A person’s donation can make space for them,
≈ and it will give them access to important people.
17 The first person to state their case sounds right,
→ until their opponent cross-examines them.
18 Tossing a coin ends quarrels,
→ and it settles things between powerful people.
19 Someone who’s offended is as approachable as a fortified city,
≈ and quarrels are like the bars on a fortress.
20 The fruit of a person’s mouth satisfies their stomach,
≈ and they’ll be satisfied with the product of their lips.
21 The tongue has power over life and death,
→ and those who love using it will eat its fruit.
22 A man who finds a wife, finds a good thing,
→ and receives favour from Yahweh.
23 Poor people make requests,
^ but the rich person answers harshly.
24 A person with many companions will come to ruin,
^ but there is a companion that sticks closer than a brother.
