whip for_the,horse bridle for_THE,donkey and,rod for,back fools
Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “A whip is for the horse, a bridle is for the donkey, and a rod is for the back of stupid ones”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
שׁ֣וֹט לַ֭סּוּס מֶ֣תֶג לַחֲמ֑וֹר וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט לְגֵ֣ו כְּסִילִֽים
whip for_the,horse bridle for_THE,donkey and,rod for,back fools
A whip, the horse, a bridle, the donkey, a rod, and the back refer to these things and animals in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Whips are for horses, bridles are for donkeys, and rods are for backs of stupid ones”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט
and,rod
Here, and indicates that Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous clause. Solomon is saying that people must hit stupid ones with a rod in order to control them, just like they must use a whip to control horses and a bridle to control donkeys. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in the same way a rod”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְ֝שֵׁ֗בֶט לְגֵ֣ו
and,rod for,back
See how you translated the same use of rod for the back in 10:13.
