PRO 29:21 Parallel Verse View

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 / genericnoun

מְפַנֵּ֣ק & עַבְדּ֑⁠וֹ

pampers & servant,his

Here, one and his refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “If any person pampers that person’s own servant”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠נֹּ֣עַר

from,childhood

Here Solomon implies that youth refers to the youth of the servant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “for that servant’s youth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ⁠נֹּ֣עַר

See how you translated the abstract noun youth in 2:17.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠אַחֲרִית֗⁠וֹ

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מָנֽוֹן

bad

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of insolence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “acting insolently”
