uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מֵ֭רַע & שְׂפַת־אָ֑וֶן שֶׁ֥קֶר & לְשׁ֥וֹן הַוֺּֽת

evildoer & language_of wicked liar & tongue_of destructive

The evildoer, the lips of iniquity, a liar, and a tongue of destruction represent types of people and things in general, not specific people or things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any evildoer … any lips of iniquity; any liar … any tongues of destruction”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

שְׂפַת־אָ֑וֶן

language_of wicked

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe lips that are characterized by iniquity. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “iniquitous lips”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

שְׂפַת

language_of

See how you translated the same use of lips in [16:13](../16/13.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מֵ֝זִין

pays_attention

The phrase give ear refers to listening carefully to what someone is saying as if the listener were giving his ear to the person speaking. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a similar expression from your language or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “listen carefully”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְשׁ֥וֹן הַוֺּֽת

tongue_of destructive

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a tongue that is characterized by destruction. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a destructive tongue”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְשׁ֥וֹן

tongue_of

See how you translated the same use of tongue in [6:17](../06/17.md).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
