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 as a tool 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.

9:13-18 This poor man’s particular wise action was effective. Wisdom is better than power, strength, or weapons (see 4:13; 7:9, 19; 10:4), yet the worthy are not always honored, and even the wise are forgotten (see 2:16; 4:16).
