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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מֶ֗לֶךְ
king
This verse describes the traits of an ideal, righteous king, not any king in general. See how you translated the same use of king in 16:10.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
מֶ֗לֶךְ & כִּסֵּא־דִ֑ין מְזָרֶ֖ה בְעֵינָ֣יו כָּל־רָֽע
king & throne judgement winnows in/on/at/with,eyes,his all/each/any/every evil
A king, the throne, one who winnows, and his refers to righteous kings and their thrones, not a specific king or throne. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any good king … the throne of judgment is a king who winnows all evil with his eyes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
כִּסֵּא־דִ֑ין
throne judgement
This phrase could refer to: (1) a throne that a king sits on for the purpose of judgment. Alternate translation: “the throne for judgment” (2) a throne that is characterized by “justice,” which is another possible translation for the word judgment. Alternate translation: “the just throne”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
דִ֑ין & רָֽע
judgement & evil
See how you translated the abstract nouns judgment in 16:10 and evil in 1:16.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מְזָרֶ֖ה
winnows
Here Solomon speaks of a king removing evil from his kingdom as if that evil were chaff that a farmer winnows out of the grain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “is one who removes” or “is one who removes like someone winnowing grain”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְעֵינָ֣יו
in/on/at/with,eyes,his
Here, eyes refers to seeing, and seeing is a metaphor for perceiving something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “according to his perception” or “according to what he perceives”
