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 / gendernotations

אָ֭דָם & דַּרְכּ֑⁠וֹ & לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

humankind & its=road/course & his/its=heart

Although man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “a person … that person’s way … that person’s heart”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

תְּסַלֵּ֣ף

ruins

Here, folly is spoken of as if it were a person who could lead someone astray. This expression means that foolish people will ruin their lives because they act foolishly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will result in ruining”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּרְכּ֑⁠וֹ

its=road/course

Here, way refers to a person’s life circumstances. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his life”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠עַל־יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִזְעַ֥ף לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

and,against YHWH rages his/its=heart

Here Solomon implies that the foolish man rages against Yahweh because he blames Yahweh for his destruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and his heart will rage against Yahweh because he blames Yahweh for his destruction”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לִבּֽ⁠וֹ

his/its=heart

Here, heart refers to the whole person, with emphasis on that person’s emotions. See how you translated the same use of heart in 15:14.
