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.

יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב

(Some words not found in UHB: come_to_an_end now evil wicked and,establish law-abiding/just and,test minds and,hearts ʼElohīm law-abiding/just )

Here, the heart represents the thoughts and motives. If the heart does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a body part from your language that has that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “whose thoughts and motives are upright”
