PRO 7:8 Parallel Verse View

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: writing-pronouns

פִּנָּ֑⁠הּ & בֵּיתָ֣⁠הּ

corner,her & house,her

In this verse, her refers to an adulterous woman, as referred to in 7:5. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the corner of an adulterous woman … that woman’s house”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

פִּנָּ֑⁠הּ

corner,her

Here, corner refers to the place where two roads intersect. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “her place at the intersection of two streets”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠דֶ֖רֶךְ בֵּיתָ֣⁠הּ יִצְעָֽד

and,road house,her taking

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a way that leads to her house. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he steps in the way that leads to her house”

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

יִצְעָֽד

taking

Here Solomon uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense. Alternate translation: “he stepped in”
