OET-RV YAC Intro C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).
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.
1:9 Behaviour of the poor and the wealthy
9 Those of humbler means can boast about their greatness 10 whereas the wealthy can boast about their weakness because they’ll pass away just like the daisies in the grass.[ref] 11 When the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, the flowers will drop and lose all their beauty. So too for rich people who’ll fade away right in the middle of all their projects.
1:10-11: Isa 40:6-7 (LXX).
