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.

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.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Wisdom

Wisdom helps us know how to speak and act in different situations. It provides the ability to avoid problems as well as the skill to handle them when they arise. Wisdom goes beyond simple intelligence. Proverbs notes that even animals such as ants, hyraxes, locusts, and lizards (Prov 30:24-28) are wise. This is not because they have great intelligence but because they know how to navigate life skillfully.

The foundation of wisdom is God himself. No wisdom exists apart from fear of the Lord (1:7). Wisdom is closely connected to righteousness and remains distant from evil. According to Proverbs, wisdom is gained through observation and experience (6:6-8), from instruction based on tradition (22:17-21), in learning from mistakes (12:1), and finally, but most importantly, through divine revelation (see 1:7).

In 1 Corinthians 1–2, Paul contrasts the “wisdom” of the world (which he calls foolishness) with the wisdom of Christ. Paul also says of Jesus, “In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col 2:3). The wisdom that comes from God is evidenced in the lives of believers by their goodness, humility, purity, and peace (Jas 3:13-18).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לָ֭⁠קַחַת מוּסַ֣ר

to=take/accept/receive instruction

Here, to receive indicates a third purpose for these proverbs. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a purpose clause. You may want to begin a new sentence. Alternate translation: “These proverbs are for the purpose of receiving instruction of”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָ֭⁠קַחַת מוּסַ֣ר הַשְׂכֵּ֑ל צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝⁠מִשְׁפָּ֗ט וּ⁠מֵישָׁרִֽים

to=take/accept/receive instruction prudent righteousness and,justice and,equity

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of instruction, insight, righteousness, justice, and integrity, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “to be instructed in ways that are insightful, righteous, just, and honest”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מוּסַ֣ר הַשְׂכֵּ֑ל צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝⁠מִשְׁפָּ֗ט וּ⁠מֵישָׁרִֽים

instruction prudent righteousness and,justice and,equity

Here, the author is using the possessive form to describe instruction that is characterized by insight, righteousness, justice, and integrity. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “instruction in how to have insight, righteousness, justice, and integrity”
