Note: These word pages enable you to click through to the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) that the Open English Translation Old Testament is translated from. The OSHB is based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). (We are still searching for a digitized facsimile of the Leningradensis manuscript that we can easily link to. See this list and this archive for now.) This is all part of the commitment of the Open English Translation team to be transparent about all levels of the Bible translation process right back to the original manuscripts.

OET-LV: 12 If/because also not he _knows the_humankind DOM time _of_his like_fish(es) which_are_caught in_a _net evil and_birds which_are_caught in_snare like_them are_ensnared the _children _of the_humankind to_a _time _of evil when_it_falls on_them suddenly. (ECC_9:12)

OET-RV: 12 You see, humanity doesn’t know when their time is about to be up:
⇔ just like a fish getting caught in a deadly net,
⇔ or birds that get caught in a trap,
⇔ so too people can get caught out when trouble suddenly hits them. (ECC 9:12)
