uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מָ֣וֶת וְ֭⁠חַיִּים בְּ⁠יַד־לָשׁ֑וֹן

death and,life in/on/at/with,power_of tongue

Here Solomon speaks of a person’s tongue as if it were a person who held Death and life in his hand. He means that what people say can cause people to die or stay alive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “A person’s death and life can be determined by what a person says”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מָ֣וֶת וְ֭⁠חַיִּים

death and,life

See how you translated the abstract nouns Death in [2:18](../02/18.md) and life in [8:36](../08/36.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לָשׁ֑וֹן

tongue

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יֹאכַ֥ל פִּרְיָֽ⁠הּ

eat fruit_of,its

Here Solomon speaks of people receiving the consequences for what they say as if those consequences were fruit that they will eat. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will receive its consequences”

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.
