This view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation 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.

2. A father teaches his son about wisdom (1:8–9:18) * Avoid evil companions (1:8–19) * Do not reject wisdom (1:20–33) * Wisdom prevents people from committing crime or adultery (2:1–22) * Humbly trust Yahweh (3:1–12) * The value of wisdom (3:13–20) * Do not act wickedly (3:21–35) * Wisdom will benefit you (4:1–9) * Behave wisely and avoid those who do not (4:10–19) * Live righteously (4:20–27) * Avoid temptation to commit adultery (5:1–23) * Practical warnings (6:1–19) * Adultery will be punished (6:20–35) * The Story of an Adulterer (7:1–27)
Occasionally Solomon addresses a series of proverbs to “my son” or “sons.” This does not mean that those proverbs only apply to males. Instead, these phrases are forms used to pass on advice from a father to his son, and the kind of advice in these proverbs is about common temptations of young men.
This chapter continues the theme about adulterous women and warns young men to avoid any adulterous woman, who is called “strange” and “foreign.” (See: adultery)
To call attention to developments in the story, Solomon uses the present tense in past narration in 7:8–13 and 21–22. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. (See: translate-tense)
