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 / rpronouns

אֲ֭נִי & אֵהָ֑ב

I & love

Wisdom uses the word myself to emphasize how significant it is that wisdom is like a woman who loves those who love her. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “Even I love”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אֲ֭נִי אֹהֲבַ֣י אֵהָ֑ב

I (Some words not found in UHB: I love,me love and,seek,me find,me )

Here, wisdom is depicted as if it were a person who can love and be loved by people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “Wisdom benefits those who value it” or “It is as if wisdom were a woman who loves those who love her”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וּ֝⁠מְשַׁחֲרַ֗⁠י יִמְצָאֻֽ⁠נְנִי

and,seek,me find,me

Here, people trying to be wise and succeeding is spoken of as if wisdom were a person whom people can seek and find. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and those who diligently try to become wise will become wise”
