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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
Everyone says & everyone speaks
(Some words not found in UHB: help, YHWH that/for/because/then/when no_longer godly that/for/because/then/when vanished faithful from=(the)_sons humankind )
The two occurrences of “everyone” are exaggerations, used to emphasize that this is true of very many people.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
everyone speaks with flattering lips and a double heart
(Some words not found in UHB: help, YHWH that/for/because/then/when no_longer godly that/for/because/then/when vanished faithful from=(the)_sons humankind )
Here “lips” is a metonym for what people say, and “a double heart” is a metaphor for deception. Alternate translation: “everyone speaks with flattering words and deception” or “everyone praises people falsely and tells lies” (See also: figs-metaphor)
