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

14:27

In this verse, 14:27b adds to the thought of 14:27a.

27aThe fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,

27bturning a man from the snares of death.

14:27a

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,

14:27b

turning a man from the snares of death.

14:27a–b

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death: This verse is identical to 13:14 except that the subject in 13:14 is “The teaching of the wise.” Here it is The fear of the LORD.

For fountain of life see the note on 13:14a. For 14:27b, see the note on 13:14b. Be aware that the different subject in 14:27a may require you to make other adjustments in the wording.

The fear of the LORD: The topic of fearing the LORD occurs both in 14:26 and in 14:27. It is possible to combine these verses in such a way that this subject is mentioned only once. For example:

26If you respect the Lord, you and your children will have a strong fortress

27and a life-giving fountain that keeps you safe from deadly traps. (CEV)

Another way to show the connection between these two subjects is to use a word such as “also” in 14:27a. For example:

The fear of the LORD is also a fountain of life

This option will enable you to keep the parallel lines. You will need to consider if either of these translation adjustments is helpful or natural in your language.
