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.

perversity in/on/at/with,heart,his fabricating evil in=all times

These two clauses are describing two situations that are occurring at the same time. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: “Perverse things are in his heart while he plots evil on every occasion”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּ⁠לִבּ֗⁠וֹ & יְשַׁלֵּֽחַ

in/on/at/with,heart,his & stirs_up

Although the terms his and he are masculine, Solomon is using the 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: “are in that person’s heart … that person sends forth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠לִבּ֗⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,heart,his

See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רָ֣ע

evil

See how you translated the abstract nouns evil in 1:16.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מדנים יְשַׁלֵּֽחַ

discord stirs_up

Here Solomon speaks of quarrels as if they were objects that a person sends forth. He means that this person causes other people to quarrel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he causes people to quarrel”
