קֹֽנֶה & נַפְשׁ֑⁠וֹ שֹׁמֵ֥ר

gets & soul_of,his_own he/it_was_watching

One who acquires, his, and one who keeps refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated one who keeps in [10:17](../10/17.md). Alternate translation: “any person who is acquires … that person’s life … any person who keeps”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

קֹֽנֶה־לֵּ֭ב

gets wisdom

Here Solomon uses heart to refer to a person’s ability to reason. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “One who acquires the ability to reason”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שֹׁמֵ֥ר תְּ֝בוּנָ֗ה

he/it_was_watching understanding

Here Solomon speaks of someone preserving or remembering understanding as if it were an object that someone keeps. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar use of “keep” in [5:2](../05/02.md). Alternate translation: “one who preserves understanding”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
