לֵ֭ץ הוֹכֵ֣חַֽ ל֑⁠וֹ & לֹ֣א יֵלֵֽךְ

scoffer rebuked to=him/it & not go

A mocker, one who rebukes, he, and him represent types of people, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any mocker … any person who rebukes that person … that person will not go”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֣א יֶאֱהַב

not like

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “really hates”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹ֣א יֵלֵֽךְ

not not go

Here Solomon implies going to the wise ones in order to get advice from them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he will not go to receive their advice”
