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

13:25

Notice the parallel parts that contrast in meaning:

25a The righteous eat to their hearts’ content,

25bbut the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.

This verse has a similar theme to 10:3.

13:25a

A righteous man eats to his heart’s content,

A righteous man eats to his heart’s content: In Hebrew, the phrase to his heart’s content is literally “to the satisfying of his soul.”UBS (p. 302). Here the word “soul” probably refers to the person’s appetite.McKane (p. 462), Fox (p. 571). The overall meaning of 13:25a is that righteous people will have enough to eat to satisfy their hunger or appetite. Some other ways to translate this line are:

If you live right, you will have plenty to eat (CEV)

The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite (NET)

13:25b

but the stomach of the wicked is empty.

but the stomach of the wicked is empty: In some languages, hunger is described in terms of a person’s stomach or belly. In other languages, the person himself, rather than his stomach, feels hunger. English has both expressions. For example:

but the bellies of wicked people are always empty (GW)

but the wicked are always hungry (GNT)

Use a natural expression in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

צַדִּ֗יק & נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ

law-abiding/just & his_appetite_of,his

A righteous one andhis here do not refer to specific people, but refer to a type of person in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any righteous one … that person’s appetite”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וּ⁠בֶ֖טֶן

and_[the],belly_of

The word stomach represents stomachs in general, not one particular stomach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “but the stomachs of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠בֶ֖טֶן רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֶּחְסָֽר

and_[the],belly_of wicked empty

Here Solomon refers to the wicked always being hungry as if their stomachs lack. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but the wicked ones will not have enough” or “but the hunger of the wicked ones will not be satisfied”
