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.

Quia autem repetitione hujusmodi communi consulitur infirmitati, non supervacue iterantur, ut repetita melius memoriæ commendentur; unde scriptum est in Proverbiis: Thesaurus desiderabilis requiescit in ore sapientis Prov. 12., quia sapiens, quæ audierit, cogitat; retractando ruminat; vir autem stultus glutit illum, id est non cogitat, oblivioni dat; et hæc sunt illa munda animalia in lege quæ ruminant; ista immunda. David fugiens Saulem in spelunca latuit, de quo tamen hic non agitur, sed de significato. David enim significat Christum. Spelunca vero carnem, vel sæculum, vel sepulcrum. David ergo, Christus, cum membris in sæculo, vel Christus in carne, vel in sepulcro.
