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

15:27

Notice the parallel parts that contrast in meaning:

27a He who is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble on his household,

27bbut he who hates bribes will live.

15:27a

He who is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble on his household,

He who is greedy for unjust gain: In Hebrew, this phrase is literally “one who gains unjust gain.” The same phrase occurs in 1:19a, where the BSB translates it as “all who are greedy, whose unjust gain….” In most contexts, including here, it refers to someone who tries to get rich wrongfully or dishonestly. The contrasting statement in 15:27b implies that this greedy person tries to get rich through the specific means of taking bribes.

brings trouble on his household: See the note on 11:29a, where this identical phrase occurs. It means that he causes trouble, ruin, or harm to everyone in his household. Another way to express this meaning is:

Those who are greedy for unjust gain make trouble for their households (NRSV)

15:27b

but he who hates bribes will live.

but he who hates bribes: These words could refer to a person who hates to give bribes or a person who hates to take bribes. The parallel contrast with a greedy man in 15:27a implies that they refer to a person who refuses to take bribes.

will live: This phrase implies a good, long life. Some versions make this implied information explicit. For example:

He who spurns a bribe will enjoy long life (REB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בֵּ֭ית⁠וֹ בּוֹצֵ֣עַ & וְ⁠שׂוֹנֵ֖א

house_of,his_own greedy & and,[one_who]_hates

One who unjustly gains, his, and one who hates represent types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who unjustly gains … that person’s house, but any person who hates”

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

בּוֹצֵ֣עַ בָּ֑צַע

greedy gain

See how you translated the similar emphatic use of “unjustly gain unjust gain” in [1:19](../01/19.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בֵּ֭ית⁠וֹ

house_of,his_own

See how you translated the same use of house in [3:33](../03/33.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠שׂוֹנֵ֖א מַתָּנֹ֣ת

and,[one_who]_hates bribes

The phrase one who hates bribes refers to a person who refuses to receive bribes that someone else might offer them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but one who refuses to accept bribes”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִחְיֶֽה

live

Here, live refers to living a long life. See how you translated the same use of live in [9:6](../09/06.md).
