PSA 49:10 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Here the word For introduces not a reason but an explanation. You may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [After all,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יִרְאֶ֨ה

he/it_will_see

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [one will see the Pit]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

חֲכָ֘מִ֤ים

wise

The psalmist is using the adjective wise as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [Wise people]

כְּסִ֣יל וָ⁠בַ֣עַר

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when he/it_will_see wise die alike fool and,a_stupid_[person] perish and,they_leave to,other_[people] wealth_of,their )

The psalmist is not referring to a specific fool or brute. He means such people in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [fools and brutes] or [foolish people and brutish people]
