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.

בְּ֭עֵינָיו אִ֣ישׁ עָשִׁ֑יר וְדַ֖ל & יַחְקְרֶֽנּוּ
in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own (a)_man rich and,poor & sees_through,him
A rich man, his, a lowly 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. Alternate translation: “Any rich person … in that person’s eyes, but any lowly one … will search that person out”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
חָכָ֣ם בְּ֭עֵינָיו
wise in/on/at/with,eyes,his_own
See how you translated wise in his eyes in 26:5.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְדַ֖ל
and,poor
See how you translated the same use of lowly in 10:15.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יַחְקְרֶֽנּוּ
sees_through,him
The phrase means that a lowly one will be able to investigate and determine that A rich man is not really wise. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will determine that he is not truly wise”
