This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
19 Whose offspring has honour?
Human offspring who fear the master.
Whose offspring has no honour?
Human offspring who break the commandments.
20 In the midst of kindred he who rules them has honour.
Those who fear the master have honour in his eyes. 21 [fn]
22 The rich man, the honourable, and the poor
all glory in the fear of the master.
23 It is not right to dishonour a poor man who has understanding.
It is not fitting to glorify a man who is a sinner.
24 The prince, the judge, and the mighty man will be honoured.
There is not one of them greater than he who fears the master.
25 Free men will minister to a wise servant.
A man who has knowledge will not complain.
26 Don’t flaunt your wisdom in doing your work.
Don’t boast in the time of your distress.
27 Better is he who labours and abounds in all things,
than he who boasts and lacks bread.
28 My son, glorify your soul in humility,
and ascribe to yourself honour according to your worthiness.
29 Who will justify him who sins against his own soul?
Who will honour him who dishonours his own life?
30 A poor man is honoured for his knowledge.
A rich man is honoured for his riches.
31 But he who is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches?
He who is dishonoured in riches, how much more in poverty?
10:21 Verse 21 is omitted by the best authorities: Fear of the master is the beginning of acceptance, but obstinance and pride are the beginning of rejection.
