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.

heart wise instructs mouth,his and,to lips,his adds persuasiveness
The heart of the wise, his, and it here refer to these things and people in general, not a specific heart or wise person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “The hearts of wise people make their mouths insightful, and on their lips they increase learning”

heart
See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יֹסִ֥יף לֶֽקַח

Here Solomon implies that what the wise says increases learning of other people who hear what the wise say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “it increases what other people learn”
