Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עֲנ֣וֹשׁ לַצַּדִּ֣יק
fine on_the,innocent
Here, fine refers to requiring a the righteous to pay money as a penalty for a crime that the righteous did not do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to wrongly require the righteous to pay a penalty”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
לַצַּדִּ֣יק
on_the,innocent
Solomon is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean righteous people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the righteous ones” or “people who act righteously”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֹא־ט֑וֹב
not good
Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “is evil”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְהַכּ֖וֹת נְדִיבִ֣ים
to,flog noble
The parallelism with the previous clause indicates that Solomon is referring to striking nobles who did not do anything wrong. Here, nobles refers to people who have a position of ruling and also have noble character. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to wrongly strike noble people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יֹֽשֶׁר
uprightness
See how you translated the abstract noun uprightness in [4:11](../04/11.md).

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.
