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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ה֗וּא & וּ⁠בְ⁠רֹ֖ב אִוַּלְתּ֣⁠וֹ יִשְׁגֶּֽה

he/it & and,in/on/at/with,great folly,his lost

Although the terms He and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “That person … and in the abundance of that person’s folly that person staggers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠אֵ֣ין מוּסָ֑ר וּ⁠בְ⁠רֹ֖ב אִוַּלְתּ֣⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,lack_of discipline and,in/on/at/with,great folly,his

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of correction, abundance, and folly, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “because he is not corrected; and in how abundantly foolish he is”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִשְׁגֶּֽה

lost

Here Solomon speaks of a person behaving in a sinful manner that will cause him to die as if he were staggering like an intoxicated person who gets lost. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he loses his way” or “he behaves recklessly”
