Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).
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.
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).
