SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–22:16: This is the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs

This section is the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs. It has a very different structure from the longer poetic lectures of chapters 1–9. It consists mostly of individual couplets (two-line poems) that are each one verse in length. With the exception of the title (10:1a), paragraph breaks will not be indicated in the Notes or Display. You may of course choose to start each proverb as a separate paragraph in your translation.

In chapters 10–15, most of these one-verse couplets express a contrast between the two lines. One of the more common contrasts is between the righteous/wise and the wicked/foolish and the different consequences of their conduct.

In chapters 16:1–22:16, more topics are discussed. There is more emphasis on the role of the king and other leaders. In these chapters, there are few proverbs with contrasting lines. Some of the parallel lines are similar in meaning. More frequently, the second line adds to what the first line says or gives an example. Most of the verses have no obvious connection with the previous or following proverbs.UBS (page 214), Fox (page 509), McKane (page 413). Many scholars, including McKane, point out that there are some topical groupings as well as poetic connections. These include the repetition of certain words or sounds. This observation does not deny the individual nature of most of the proverbs in this Section.

Two of the types of proverbs in this section are not found in chapters 1–9. One type contains logical reasoning from the lesser to the greater. See 11:31 for a list of these proverbs. There are also several varieties of complex “better than” proverbs. The most common have a contrasting situation in each line (see 12:9). For other varieties, see 16:16, 19:1, and 21:9.

Many of the proverbs in this section refer to categories of people who share a common trait. For example, they refer to the righteous, the wise, the poor, and the lazy. In Hebrew, some verses use singular forms to refer to these groups of people. Other verses use plural forms. Still others use a combination of singular and plural. See the note on 10:30a–b for one example. For most of these verses, the Notes will not comment on the difference between singular and plural forms. Use a natural way in your language to refer to one or more people who are in the same category.

Many of the proverbs in this section express a general principle in abstract terms. They are not addressed specifically to the readers. For example, 10:2a–b says:

Ill-gotten treasures are of no value,

but righteousness delivers from death.

However, the author intended his readers to understand these proverbs as advice that they should follow. In some languages, authors or speakers give advice more directly, using pronouns such as you(sing), you(plur), we(dual), or we(incl). See the note on 10:2 for translation suggestions.

Some other headings for this section are:

Proverbs of Solomon (NIV)

The Wise Words of Solomon (NCV)

Here are many wise things that Solomon said

10:5

Notice the parallel parts that contrast in meaning:

5a He who gathers in summer is a wise son,

5bbut he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

This proverb contrasts the actions of a wise son and a disgraceful son during the time when people need to harvest the crops.

10:5a–b

(combined/reordered)

in summer…during harvest: These phrases are parallel. They both refer to the time when the crops are ripe and are ready to be harvested. In some languages, there may not be a word for summer. Summer may also not be the time when people harvest crops. If either of these is true in your area, you may be able to use a descriptive phrase. For example:

gathers the crops when they are ready (GNT)

gather crops on time (NCV)

10:5a

He who gathers in summer is a wise son,

wise: The Hebrew word maśkil, which the BSB translates here as wise, comes from the same root word that it translates as “prudent” in 1:3a. See the note there.

Here it means to act wisely or to have good sense. For example:

sensible (GNT)

See wise dealing in the Glossary.

10:5b

but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

a disgraceful son: This phrase may mean either “brings disgrace on one’s family” or “acts shamefully.” Both meanings are probably intended. The son’s shameful action would cause shame or disgrace not only to his family but also to himself. So if possible, translate this phrase in a way that will allow both meanings.

If you have to specify the person(s) to whom the son causes shame, it is recommended that you specify his family rather than himself. In the context of 10:1, the effect of the son’s actions on his parents is clearly in view.

Some English versions do not specify a son. Instead they use a more general term, such as “A sensible person” (GNT). It is recommended that you keep the reference to a “son/child.” Verse 10:1 speaks of the relationship between a son and his parents. The whole previous context of chapters 1–9 is also about a father instructing his son.

General Comment on 10:5a–b

In some languages, it may sound redundant to repeat parallel terms that both refer to harvest time. If that is true in your language, you may combine the two terms into one. For example:

A sensible son works hard when it is time to harvest the crops, but one who sleeps causes shame.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אֹגֵ֣ר & נִרְדָּ֥ם

gathers & sleeps

One who gathers and one who keeps refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful, you could use expressions that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Any person who gathers … but any person who sleeps”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֹגֵ֣ר בַּ֭⁠קַּיִץ & בַּ֝⁠קָּצִ֗יר

gathers in,summer & at,harvest

In the location where this book was written, summer is the time of year when people harvest crops. See how you translated the same use of gathers, summer, and harvest in [6:8](../06/08.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֹגֵ֣ר

gathers

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply the word from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “One who gathers food”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַשְׂכִּ֑יל

prudent

See how you translated the abstract noun insight in [1:3](../01/03.md).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

10:4-5 Lazy people are foolish, while hard workers are wise (see also 10:26; 26:13-16).
