OET (OET-LV) And_a_worthless_person is_like_thorn[s] which_is_chased_away of_them_of_all if/because not in_a_hand people_will_take.
OET (OET-RV) But evil people are like thorns—
⇔ they’re all thrown away.
⇔ because they injure your hands.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
וּבְלִיַּ֕עַל
(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_worthless_person [is]_like,thorn[s] throw_aside of_them_of,all that/for/because/then/when not in,a_hand picked_up )
The author is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [But wicked people]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּק֥וֹץ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_worthless_person [is]_like,thorn[s] throw_aside of_them_of,all that/for/because/then/when not in,a_hand picked_up )
The point of this comparison is that just as thorns are worthless and thrown away, so are the wicked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [will be rejected like a thorn]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
מֻנָ֖ד & כִּֽי־לֹ֥א בְיָ֖ד יִקָּֽחוּ
throw_aside & (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_worthless_person [is]_like,thorn[s] throw_aside of_them_of,all that/for/because/then/when not in,a_hand picked_up )
The expression thrown away is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that people throw away because it hurts to hold it in their hands]
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
לֹ֥א & יִקָּֽחוּ
not & (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_worthless_person [is]_like,thorn[s] throw_aside of_them_of,all that/for/because/then/when not in,a_hand picked_up )
Here the author is using the pronoun they in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [one does not take] or [people do not take]

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.
