uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Here, spirit represents “inner disposition.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in your inner disposition]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כַ֔עַס

anger

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: [being angry]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אַל תְּבַהֵ֥ל בְּ⁠רֽוּחֲ⁠ךָ֖ לִ⁠כְע֑וֹס כִּ֣י כַ֔עַס בְּ⁠חֵ֥יק כְּסִילִ֖ים יָנֽוּחַ

not quick in,spirit_of,your to,become_angry that/for/because/then/when anger in,the_bosom_of fools lodges

The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [Do not hasten in your spirit to become angry, because anger rests in the lap of fools]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
