This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, 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.
15 He who fears the master will do this.
He who has possession of the law will obtain her.
2 She’ll meet him like a mother,
and receive him like a wife married in her virginity.
3 She’ll feed him with bread of understanding
and give him water of wisdom to drink.
4 He’ll be stayed on her, and won’t be moved.
He’ll rely on her, and won’t be confounded.
5 She’ll exalt him above his neighbours.
She’ll open his mouth among the congregation.
6 He’ll inherit joy, a crown of gladness,
7 Foolish men won’t obtain her.
Sinners won’t see her.
9 Praise isn’t attractive in a sinner’s mouth;
for it wasn’t sent to him from the master.
10 Because praise will be spoken in wisdom;
11 Don’t say, “It’s through the master that I fell away;”
for you mustn’t do the things that he hates.
12 Don’t say, “It’s he that caused me to err;”
for he has no need of a sinful man.
13 The master hates every abomination;
and those who fear him don’t love them.
14 He himself made man from the beginning
and left him in the hand of his own counsel.
15 If you choose, you can keep the commandments.
To be faithful is a matter of your choice.
16 He’s set fire and water before you.
You’ll stretch forth your hand to whichever you desire.
17 Before man is life and death.
Whichever he likes, it’ll be given to him.
18 Because the master’s wisdom is great.
He’s mighty in power, and sees all things.
19 His eyes are on those who fear him.
20 He hasn’t commanded any man to be ungodly.
He hasn’t given any man license to sin.
