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.
20 Wine is a mocker and strong drink makes you boisterous,
→ and everyone who staggers due to it, isn’t wise.
2 A king’s rage is like a roaring lion.
→ Anyone who provokes him to anger risks their life.
3 It’s honourable for a person to step away from strife,
^ but every fool would rather break out an argument.
4 A lazy person won’t plough when it’s still cold,
→ then he looks at harvest time and there’s nothing.
5 The plans in a person’s mind are like deep water,
^ but an understanding person will draw them out.
6 Many people talk about their loyalty,
^ but who can actually find a faithful person.
7 Godly people act with integrity.
→ Their children will be blessed after them.
8 A king sitting on his throne to make a judgement,
→ sifts all evil out with his eyes.
9 Who can say, “I’ve kept my motives pure—
≈ I’ve been freed from sin”?
10 Differing weights and unequal measures—
→ Yahweh hates both of them.
11 Even young people are known by their actions
→ if they’re honest and obedient.
12 The ear that hears and the eye that sees—
→ it was Yahweh that made both of them.
13 Don’t love sleep or you might end up in poverty.
≈ Open your eyes then you’ll have enough food.
14 “Worthless, worthless,” say the buyers,
^ but as soon as they’ve left, they boast about the good deal.
15 There’s gold around, and plenty of jewels,
^ but lips with knowledge are a rare commodity.
16 Take the person’s coat if they’ve used it to guarantee the loan of a stranger,
≈ and hold it in pledge if they did it for a foreign woman.
17 The bread of lies tastes good at first,
^ but afterwards it’s like a mouthful of gravel.
18 Plans are established with advisers,
→ so wise guidance is required for war.
19 The person who gossips reveals a secret,
→ so don’t get involved with someone with a big mouth.
20 The one who curses their father and mother,
→ will have their lamp extinguished in deep darkness.
21 An inheritance that’s gained at too young an age,
→ won’t be a blessing in the end.
22 Don’t say, “I’ll repay that evil.”
→ Wait for Yahweh and he’ll rescue you.
23 Fiddling with the weights is hated by Yahweh,
≈ and deceitful scales aren’t good.
24 It’s Yahweh that determines a person’s steps,
→ so how does a mere human understand their course?
25 It’s a trap for a person to rashly declare something as sacred,
→ and then to only reflect later after making vows.
26 A wise king winnows out the wicked to separate them.
≈ He uses the thresher to break them off.
27 The human spirit is Yahweh’s lamp,
→ searching all the innermost parts.
28 Loyal commitment and faithfulness to king preserves him,
≈ and his throne is upheld by that loyal commitment.
29 The splendour of young men is their strength,
≈ and the adornment of old people is their gray hair.
30 Lashes and wounds clean out evil,
≈ and beatings clean out the innermost parts.
