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 / rpronouns
הֽוּא־יָלִ֑יץ
he/it scornful
For emphasis, Solomon is stating the pronoun himself, the meaning of which is already stated as he. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun himself. Alternate translation: “he indeed mocks”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
יִתֶּן־חֵֽן
gives graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty
The writer speaks of Yahweh favoring people as if his favor were an object that he gives to people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he acts favorably” or “he gives grace”
