PRO 17:13 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.

returns evil below/instead_of good not (Some words not found in UHB: returns evil below/instead_of good not depart evil from,house,his )

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מֵשִׁ֣יב & מִ⁠בֵּיתֽ⁠וֹ

returns & from,house,his
