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.
17 It’s better to have a dry piece of bread in quietness,
^ than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 A servant who acts wisely will rule over a shameful son,
→ and he’ll share in the inheritance along with the brothers.
3 There’s a crucible and furnace for gold and silver,
^ but it’s Yahweh who tests hearts.
4 Those who do evil pay attention to wicked lips.
≈ A liar listens to a destructive tongue.
5 Anyone who mocks the poor, taunts their maker.
≈ Someone who’s happy about a calamity won’t go unpunished.
6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
≈ and children are proud of their parents.
7 Excellent lips wouldn’t be suitable for a fool,
≈ and certainly deceptive lips don’t suit a ruler.
8 Doing a favour can act like a bribe for the donor.
→ It causes everything they do to prosper.
9 The person who conceals an offence is seeking acceptance,
^ but the one repeating the matter separates close friends.
10 Rebukes work on a sensible person,
more than a hundred lashes on a fool.
11 Only an evil person seeks rebellion
→ and so a cruel opponent will be sent against him.
12 It’s better to meet a mother bear robbed of its cubs,
→ than to meet a fool displaying their foolishness.
13 Someone who returns evil for good,
→ will find that evil never departs from their house.
14 The beginning of a dispute is like a small water leak,
→ so stop it before it breaks out into a quarrel.
15 The person who justifies wicked people,
≈ and the one who condemns an innocent person,
→ are both destestable to Yahweh.
16 Why would a fool need money in their hand
when they have no intention of acquiring wisdom.
17 A true friend loves at all times,
≈ and relatives are born to help during periods of difficulty.
18 A person lacking integrity is quick to give a handshake—
→ guaranteeing a loan in front of their neighbour.
19 The one who loves to disobey, loves contention.
The person who builds a high fence, invites destruction.
20 The person with twisted values won’t find goodness,
≈ and the one with a perverse tongue will descend into disaster.
21 It’s sad for the parents of a child who makes bad choices,
≈ and the father of a fool won’t be a happy person.
22 A cheerful attitude promotes healing,
^ but a crushed spirit makes your bones dry up.
23 A wicked person accepts a secret bribe
→ to pervert the paths of justice.
24 Wisdom is present with the understanding person,
^ but a fool’s eyes are unable to concentrate.
25 A foolish child brings grief to his father,
≈ and bitterness to the mother who gave birth to them.
26 It’s not good to impose a fine on the innocent.
Beating up an official isn’t a good thing to do.
27 A person who’s truly knowledgable, restrains what they say,
≈ and an understanding person stays calm.
28 Even a fool who stays silent is considered to be wise.
≈ The one with closed lips appears to have understanding.
