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 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּכְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר שִׂפְתֵי־דָֽעַת
and,jewel precious lips knowledge
Here Solomon speaks of the value of lips of knowledge as if they were a vessel of preciousness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but lips of knowledge are as valuable as a vessel of preciousness”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
שִׂפְתֵי־דָֽעַת
lips knowledge
See how you translated this phrase in 14:7.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
וּכְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר
and,jewel precious
Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a vessel that is characterized by preciousness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “but … are a precious vessel”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּכְלִ֥י יְ֝קָ֗ר
and,jewel precious
Solomon contrasts abundance in the previous clause with preciousness in this clause in order to imply that lips of knowledge are rarer and more valuable than gold and corals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but … are a vessel that is even more precious than those”
