Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
עֵ֣ד בְּ֭לִיַּעַל & וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְבַלַּע
witness_of worthless & and,mouth_of wicked devours
A witness of worthlessness and the mouth here refer to this type of people and mouths in general, not a specific witness or mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any witness of worthlessness … and the mouths of the wicked ones swallow”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
עֵ֣ד בְּ֭לִיַּעַל
witness_of worthless
Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a witness who is characterized by worthlessness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “a worthless witness”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּ֭לִיַּעַל & מִשְׁפָּ֑ט & אָֽוֶן
worthless & justice & iniquity
See how you translated the abstract nouns worthlessness and iniquity in [6:12](../06/12.md) and justice in [1:3](../01/03.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּפִ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יְבַלַּע־אָֽוֶן
and,mouth_of wicked devours iniquity
Here Solomon speaks of the wicked ones enjoying doing iniquity as if iniquity were delicious food that they could swallow with their mouths. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “the wicked ones enjoy iniquity” or “the wicked enjoy doing iniquity as much as they enjoy eating delicious food”

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.
