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.
21 The essentials of life are water, bread,
a garment, and a house for privacy.
22 Better is the life of a poor man under a shelter of logs
than sumptuous fare in another man’s house.
23 With little or with much, be well satisfied.[fn]
24 It is a miserable life to go from house to house.
Where you are a guest, you dare not open your mouth.
25 You will entertain, serve drinks, and have no thanks.
In addition to this, you will hear bitter words.
26 “Come here, you sojourner, set a table,
and if you have anything in your hand, feed me with it.”
27 “Leave, you sojourner, for an honoured guest is here.
My brother has come to be my guest. I need my house.”
28 These things are grievous to a man of understanding:
The scolding about lodging and the insults of creditors.
29:23 The remainder of this verse is omitted by the best authorities.
