Parallel SIR 11:10

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.

BrLXX Τέκνον, μὴ περὶ πολλὰ ἔστωσαν αἱ πράξεις σου· ἐὰν πληθυνῇς, οὐκ ἀθωωθήσῃ· καὶ ἐὰν διώκῃς, οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγῃς διαδράς.
(Teknon, maʸ peri polla estōsan hai praxeis sou; ean plaʸthunaʸs, ouk athōōthaʸsaʸ; kai ean diōkaʸs, ou maʸ katalabaʸs, kai ou maʸ ekfugaʸs diadras. )

BrTr My son, meddle not with many matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing.

WEBBE ⇔ My son, don’t be busy about many matters;
⇔ for if you meddle much, you will not be unpunished.
⇔ If you pursue, you will not overtake,
⇔ and you will not escape by fleeing.
