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.

(Manteiai kai oiōnismoi kai enupnia, mataia esti, kai hōs ōdinousaʸs fantazetai kardia. )

BrTr Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.

WEBBE He who loves gold won’t be justified.
⇔ He who follows destruction will himself have his fill of it.

KJB-1611 He that loueth gold shall not bee iustified, and he that followeth corruption, shall haue enough thereof.
