Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מָד֑וֹן & הָרִ֥יב
strife & the,quarrel
See how you translated the abstract nouns quarrel and dispute in [15:18](../15/18.md).
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
פּ֣וֹטֵֽר מַ֭יִם
letting_out_of waters
Here Solomon speaks of the difficulty in stopping a quarrel after it starts as if the the beginning of a quarrel were water that began to leak from a container or dam. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “is difficult to stop” or “is as difficult to stop as water leaking from a container”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הָרִ֥יב נְטֽוֹשׁ
the,quarrel stop
Here Solomon refers to stopping a dispute before it begins as if the dispute were a place that someone could leave. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “avoid the dispute” or “end the dispute”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הִ֝תְגַּלַּ֗ע
breaks_out
Here Solomon refers to a quarrel starting as if it were water that suddenly breaks out of a container or dam. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “suddenly begins”
17:14 opening a floodgate: Once a quarrel starts, it is very difficult to stop it; a dispute should be avoided if at all possible (see 10:12; 15:18; 16:28; 20:3; 22:10; 26:21).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
