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.

לָ֭⁠הּ & יָדֶ֑י⁠הָ וִֽ⁠יהַלְל֖וּ⁠הָ & מַעֲשֶֽׂי⁠הָ

to/for=her/it & hands,her and,praise,her & works,her

In this verse, her refers to the “woman fearful of Yahweh” mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to a woman fearful of Yahweh … that woman’s hands, and let that woman’s works praise her”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠פְּרִ֣י יָדֶ֑י⁠הָ

from_the=fruit hands,her

Here, the fruit of her hands could refer to: (1) any kind of reward that the woman deserves for her hard work. Alternate translation: “some reward for her work” (2) the money that the woman has earned by selling the clothing she made in 31:13, like the nearly identical phrase “from the fruit of her palms” in 31:16. Alternate translation: “from the money she has earned”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וִֽ⁠יהַלְל֖וּ⁠הָ & מַעֲשֶֽׂי⁠הָ

and,praise,her & works,her
