Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָנ֣וּב חָכְמָ֑ה

brings_forth wisdom

Here Solomon refers to a righteous person saying wise things as if wisdom were a fruit that a plant bears. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “speaks wisdom” or “speaks wisdom like a plant bears fruit”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠לְשׁ֥וֹן

and=(the)_tongue

See how you translated the same use of tongue in 6:17.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּכָּרֵֽת

cut_out

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The context implies that Yahweh will do the action. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will cut off”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

תִּכָּרֵֽת

cut_out

Here Solomon speaks of the perverse ones not being permitted to speak as if someone cut off their tongues. He does not mean that someone would literally cut off their tongues. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will not be allowed to speak” or “will be stopped”
