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.

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.

dripping constant in/on=day rainy and,wife contentious alike

Here, alike indicates that Solomon is comparing a woman of quarrels to continually dripping water on a rainy day because both are annoying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar use of dripping in 19:13. Alternate translation: “Bothersome like a continual dripping on a day of steady rain is a woman of quarrels” or “As annoying as a continual dripping of water on a rainy is a woman of quarrels”

וְ⁠אֵ֥שֶׁת מדונים

and,wife contentious

See how you translated a woman of quarrels in 21:9.
