OET interlinear PRO 11:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠מ֤וֹת אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע

in/on/at/with,dies_of humankind wicked

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “When a wicked man dies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אָדָ֣ם רָ֭שָׁע

humankind wicked

Although the term man 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: “a wicked person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תֹּאבַ֣ד תִּקְוָ֑ה

comes_to_nothing hope

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of expectation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [he can no longer expect anything good]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

תֹּאבַ֣ד & אָבָֽדָה

comes_to_nothing & perishes

In this verse, Solomon speaks of expectation and hope remaining unfulfilled as if they were living things that could perish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use similes. Alternate translation: “will remain unfulfilled … remains unfulfilled” or “will be like someone who perishes … is like someone who perishes”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
