UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

כַּעְס֑⁠וֹ

anger,his

Although the term his is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “that person’s anger”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כַּעְס֑⁠וֹ

anger,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of anger, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when he is angry,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִוָּדַ֣ע

known

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people know”

בַּ֭⁠יּוֹם
