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.

poor & in/on/at/with,integrity,his than,perverse speech,his and=he fool
Here, one who is poor, his, one who is crooked, he, and a stupid one all refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “is a poor person … in that person’s integrity than a person who is crooked in that one’s lips and is a stupid person”

הוֹלֵ֣ךְ בְּתֻמּ֑וֹ
walking in/on/at/with,integrity,his
Here Solomon speaks of a person behaving with integrity as if integrity were a place that person walks in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar use of “walk” in 3:23. Alternate translation: “who behaves with integrity”
