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 Κάμινος δοκιμάζει στόμωμα ἐν βαφῇ, οὕτως οἶνος καρδίας ἐν μάχῃ ὑπερηφάνων.
(Kaminos dokimazei stomōma en bafaʸ, houtōs oinos kardias en maⱪaʸ huperaʸfanōn. )

BrTr The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.

WEBBE Even so a man fasting for his sins,
⇔ and going again, and doing the same,
⇔ who will listen to his prayer?
⇔ What profit does he have in his humiliation?

KJB-1611 So is it with a man that fasteth for his sinnes, and goeth againe and doeth the same: who will heare his prayer, or what doeth his humbling profit him?
(So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth/goes again and doeth the same: who will hear his prayer, or what doeth his humbling profit him?)
