uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֣י

that/for/because/then/when

For here indicates that what follows are more reasons why someone should avoid doing evil, as commanded in [4:15](../04/15.md). Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “Avoid being one who acts wickedly, because”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

לָ֭חֲמוּ & יִשְׁתּֽוּ

eat & drink

In this verse, the pronoun they refers to the wicked people mentioned in [4:14](../04/14.md). If it would be clearer in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “wicked ones eat … wicked ones drink”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לָ֭חֲמוּ לֶ֣חֶם רֶ֑שַׁע וְ⁠יֵ֖ין חֲמָסִ֣ים יִשְׁתּֽוּ

eat food/grain/bread wickedness and=wine violence drink

These two clauses could mean: (1) these wicked people do acts of wickedness and violence as regularly as they eat bread and drink wine. Alternate translation: “wickedness is like the bread that they eat and violence is like the wine that they drink” or (2) these wicked people do acts of wickedness and violence in order to get their bread and wine. Alternate translation: “they eat bread that they obtain by doing wicked things and they drink wine that they obtain through violent acts”

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.
