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.
28 He who takes vengeance will find vengeance from the master,
and he’ll surely make his sins firm.
2 Forgive your neighbour the hurt that he’s done,
and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
3 Does anyone harbour anger against another
and expect healing from the master?
4 On a man like himself he has no mercy,
and does he make supplication for his own sins?
5 He himself, being flesh, nourishes anger.
Who’ll make atonement for his sins?
6 Remember your last end, and stop enmity.
Remember corruption and death, and be true to the commandments.
7 Remember the commandments, and don’t be angry with your neighbour.
Remember the covenant of the Highest, and overlook ignorance.
8 Abstain from strife, and you’ll diminish your sins,
for a passionate man will kindle strife.
9 A man who’s a sinner will trouble friends
and sow discord among those who are at peace.
10 As is the fuel of the fire, so it’ll burn;
and as the stoutness of the strife is, so it’ll burn.
As is the man’s strength, so will be his anger;
and as is his wealth, so he’ll exalt his anger.
11 A contention begun in haste kindles a fire;
and hasty fighting sheds blood.
12 If you blow on a spark, it’ll burn;
and if you spit on it, it’ll be quenched.
Both of these come out of your mouth.
13 Curse the whisperer and double-tongued,
for he’s destroyed many who were at peace.
14 A slanderer has shaken many,
and dispersed them from nation to nation.
It’s pulled down strong cities
and overthrown great men’s houses.
15 A slanderer has thrown out brave women
and deprived them of their labours.
16 He who listens to it won’t find rest,
17 The stroke of a whip makes a mark in the flesh,
but the stroke of a tongue will break bones.
18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword,
yet not so many as those who’ve fallen because of the tongue.
19 Happy is he who’s sheltered from it,
who hasn’t passed through its anger,
and hasn’t been bound with its bands.
20 Because its yoke is a yoke of iron,
and its bands are bands of brass.
21 Its death is an evil death,
and Haidais is better than it.
22 It won’t have rule over godly men.
They won’t be burnt in its flame.
23 Those who forsake the master will fall into it.
It’ll burn among them, and won’t be quenched.
It’ll be sent against them like a lion.
It’ll destroy them like a leopard.
24 As you hedge your possession about with thorns,
and secure your silver and your gold,
25 so make a balance and a weight for your words,
and make a door and a bar for your mouth.
26 Be careful not to slip with it,
or you might fall before someone lying in wait.
