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.

in/on/at/with,integrity,his law-abiding/just & children,his after,him

A righteous one, his, sons, and him refer to people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a righteous one in 9:9. Alternate translation: “Any righteous person … in that person’s integrity … are that person’s children after that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִתְהַלֵּ֣ךְ בְּ⁠תֻמּ֣⁠וֹ

walking_around/wandering in/on/at/with,integrity,his

Here Solomon speaks of a person behaving with integrity as if integrity were a place in which that person walks about. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated a similar phrase in 19:1. Alternate translation: “who behaves with integrity”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠תֻמּ֣⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,integrity,his

See how you translated the abstract noun integrity in 1:3.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַחֲרָֽי⁠ו

after,him

Here, after him means that his sons were born after he was born. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “his sons who exist after him”
