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.

הֲלִיכ֣וֹת בֵּיתָ֑הּ
ways household,her
Here, the goings on of her house could refer to: (1) what happens inside her home. Alternate translation: “what happens in her home” (2) what the people who live in her house do, in which case her house has the same meaning as in 31:15. Alternate translation: “what her family does”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֶ֥חֶם עַ֝צְל֗וּת לֹ֣א תֹאכֵֽל
and,bread idleness not eat
Here, Lemuel’s mother speaks of someone being lazy as if laziness were bread that a person eats. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and she does not act idly”
