ECC 6:7 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) is for his mouth

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every toil the=humankind for,mouth,his and=also the=living_creatures not satisfied )

Here putting food in a man’s mouth represents feeding him. Alternate translation: “is to put food in his mouth” or “is to feed him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) his appetite is not satisfied

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every toil the=humankind for,mouth,his and=also the=living_creatures not satisfied )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he does not satisfy his appetite”
