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

19:20

The second line of this proverb gives the purpose or intended result of obeying the similar commands in the first line.

20aListen to counsel and accept discipline,

20bthat you may be wise the rest of your days.

19:20a

Listen to counsel and accept discipline,

Listen to counsel: The word counsel refers here to someone’s recommendation or plan about what a person should do or how he should act. See advice in the Glossary.

and accept discipline: The command to accept discipline is similar. The word that the BSB translates here as discipline was also translated as “Discipline” in 19:18a. In that verse the focus was primarily on punishment. Here the word refers more generally to moral instruction or verbal correction. See discipline in the Glossary.

Another way to translate these commands is:

Pay attention to advice and accept correction (CEV)

In some languages, it may be more natural to use an “if” clause rather than a command. For example:

If you listen to advice and are willing to learn (GNT)

19:20b

that you may be wise the rest of your days.

that: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as that indicates here the purpose or intended result of obeying the commands in 19:20a. In English, a phrase such as “in order that” or “so that” is often used to introduce this relationship. See the examples in the next note.

you may be wise the rest of your days: This phrase is literally “in your end.” It probably refers to a later period of time in the person’s life.

Some other ways to translate 19:20b are:

in order that you may be wise in the end (NJPS)

that you may eventually become wise (NAB)

and in the end you will be wise (NIV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֵ֭צָה & מוּסָ֑ר

advice & instruction

See how you translated the abstract nouns counsel in [1:25](../01/25.md) and instruction in [1:2](../01/02.md).

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְ֝מַ֗עַן תֶּחְכַּ֥ם

that gain_wisdom

Here, so that indicates that what follows is the purpose for obeying the commands in the previous clause. Use the most natural way in your language to express a purpose. Alternate translation: “for the purpose of becoming wise”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠אַחֲרִיתֶֽ⁠ךָ

in,end_of,your

This could refer to: (1) the time near the end of one’s life. Alternate translation: “when your life is almost over” (2) a future point in time. Alternate translation: “in the future” or “eventually”
