Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רָ֭כִיל

gossip

Here Solomon is using the adjective gossip as a noun to mean “someone who gossips.” Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “Someone who gossips”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מְגַלֶּה

telling

Here Solomon refers to revealing secret information as if that information were a hidden object that people were uncovering. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “revealing”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠נֶאֱמַן־ר֝֗וּחַ

and,trustworthy spirit

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe someone who is characterized by being faithful. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “but a faithful one”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
