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 / rquestion
רָאִ֗יתָ אִ֭ישׁ חָכָ֣ם בְּעֵינָ֑יו
see (a)_man wise in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own
Although the Hebrew text is not worded like a question, many translations make this clause into a rhetorical question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a question. See how you translated the similar use of You see in 22:29. Alternate translation: “Have you seen a man wise in his eyes?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אִ֭ישׁ חָכָ֣ם בְּעֵינָ֑יו & לִכְסִ֣יל מִמֶּֽנּוּ
(a)_man wise in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own & for,fool more_~_than,him
Here, a man, his, a stupid one, and him refer to types of 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 stupid one in 10:18. Alternate translation: “any person wise in that person’s eyes … for any stupid person than that person”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
חָכָ֣ם בְּעֵינָ֑יו
wise in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own
Here Solomon implies that this man is not actually wise. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “wise in his eyes who is not really wise”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּעֵינָ֑יו
in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own
See how you translated the same use of eyes in 3:7.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
תִּקְוָ֖ה
hope
See how you translated the abstract noun hope in 10:28.
