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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

הֹקַ֣ר

seldom

In this verse, Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous verse. In the same way that a person must not eat too much “honey,” a person must also avoid visiting his neighbor’s house too frequently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Similarly, make rare” or “So also make rare”

הֹקַ֣ר רַ֭גְלְ⁠ךָ מִ⁠בֵּ֣ית רֵעֶ֑⁠ךָ

seldom foot,your in,house neighbor's,your

Alternate translation: “Prevent your foot from frequently being in the house of your neighbor”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רֵעֶ֑⁠ךָ

neighbor's,your

Here, foot represents the whole person. See how you translated the similar use of foot in 1:15.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִ⁠בֵּ֣ית רֵעֶ֑⁠ךָ פֶּן־יִ֝שְׂבָּעֲ⁠ךָ֗

in,house neighbor's,your lest become_weary_of,you

Here, your neighbor and he refer to neighbors in general, not a specific neighbor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “from any house of any of your neighbors, lest that neighbor become satiated with you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִ֝שְׂבָּעֲ⁠ךָ֗

become_weary_of,you

Here, the word translated as satiated refers to people being annoyed with a person because that person visits them too frequently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. If your language has a word that can be used for both this occurrence of satiated and the occurrence in the previous verse, consider using it here. Alternate translation: “he become tired of seeing you” or “he become sick of you”
