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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ה֣וֹן עָ֭שִׁיר קִרְיַ֣ת עֻזּ֑וֹ

See how you translated the same clause in 10:15.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וּכְחוֹמָ֥ה נִ֝שְׂגָּבָ֗ה
and,like,wall high
Solomon is saying that the wealth of a rich one is like a wall set on high because the rich one thinks that his wealth will protect him from enemies, as a high wall protects. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and it will protect him like a wall set on high”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְּמַשְׂכִּיתֽוֹ
in/on/at/with,imagination,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of imagination, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “according to what he imagines”
