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

12:1–28

Almost every verse in this chapter has contrastive parallelism. The contrast in these verses is mainly between the righteous and the wicked.

12:1

The parallel parts with bold print are similar in meaning. The other parallel parts contrast in meaning.

1a Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

1bbut he who hates correction is stupid.

12:1a–b

loves discipline…hates correction: Someone who loves discipline strongly desires to be advised or rebuked. Someone who hates correction strongly dislikes being corrected or rebuked. It also includes the idea of rejecting correction or refusing to be corrected. Some other ways to translate these parallel phrases are:

A person who is willing to accept advice/rebuke…a person who hates to be rebuked/corrected

A person who truly appreciates it when he is disciplined/corrected…a person who does not listen when he is rebuked

discipline…correction: The word discipline refers here to moral instruction, advice, or reproof. The word correction refers to verbal correction or rebuke. No contrast is intended between the meanings of discipline and correction. In fact, versions such as the REB and NAB have “correction” in 12:1a and “reproof” in 12:1b.

For more information on these words, see discipline and rebuke 1 in the Glossary.

12:1a

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge: In Hebrew, this clause is literally “one who loves discipline one who loves knowledge.” Both phrases are identical in form. There are two ways to interpret the subject of this clause:

  1. “Whoever loves discipline” is the subject. For example:

    Whoever loves discipline loves to learn (GW)

    He who loves correction loves knowledge (REB) (BSB, ESV, GW, KJV, NAB, NASB, NET, NIV, NJB, NJPS, NRSV, REB)

  2. “Whoever loves knowledge” is the subject. For example:

    Anyone who loves learning accepts correction (NCV)

    Any who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. (GNT) (NCV, GNT)

The Display follows interpretation (1), but you may follow either interpretation. More versions follow interpretation (1). More scholars support interpretation (2).Scholars who support interpretation (2) include Delitzsch, Toy, Scott, Cohen, and Whybray. Scholars who support interpretation (1) include Waltke and Fox. Both interpretations provide a good contrast with 12:1b.

knowledge: in this context, knowledge means almost the same thing as “wisdom.” It refers primarily to the moral lessons that a person learns. It does not refer to what a person learns in school.

12:1b

but he who hates correction is stupid.

stupid: The word that the BSB translates here as stupid refers to someone who lacks intelligence or is senseless. In Psalm 73:22, the stupid person is compared to a “brute beast.” So this word may imply that the stupid person is like an animal that is not able to think rationally. Some other ways to translate this word are:

does not know how to think

like a dumb animal

See stupid in the Glossary.
