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

22:2

In this proverb, the second line further explains the meaning of the first line.

2aRich and poor have this in common:

2bThe LORD is the Maker of them all.

22:2a

The rich and the poor have this in common:

The rich and the poor have this in common: In Hebrew, this clause is literally “The rich and the poor meet together,” as in the ESV. There are two ways to interpret this clause:

  1. Rich and poor people figuratively meet together. They have a common similarity or characteristic. For example:

    The rich and poor are alike (NCV) (BSB, CEV, GW, NAB, NCV, NASB, NIV, NLT, NRSV, REB, GNT)

  2. Rich and poor people literally meet together. As they live together in a community, they have social contact with one another.Fox, Ross, and McKane support this interpretation. For example:

    Rich and poor rub shoulders (NJB) (ESV, KJV, NET, NJB, NJPS, RSV)Of these versions, all except the NJB use a literal wording such as “meet together.” The author of these Notes has assumed that these versions intend this wording to be understood in terms of a literal meeting or contact.

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Most scholars think that this is probably the intended meaning.UBS, Murphy, Garrett and Hubbard think that this clause refers to what the rich and poor have in common. Waltke, Longman, and Whybray are among the scholars who acknowledge the possibility of interpretation (2) but who think that a common characteristic is the more probable meaning. It fits better with the explanation in 22:2b that the LORD made both rich and poor.

However, many scholars think that interpretation (2) is at least possible, because it is true in daily life. So you may want to give interpretation (2) in a footnote. A suggested footnote is:

In Hebrew, it says, “Rich and poor people meet together.” Some scholars think that this refers to times when rich and poor people see or talk with one another in their community. Most scholars think that this refers to the similarity between rich and poor people.

22:2b

The LORD is Maker of them all.

The LORD is Maker of them all: This clause explains what the rich and poor have in common. They are similar in that all people, both rich and poor, were made by the LORD. Some other ways to translate this clause are:

in that the Lord made them all (NCV)

The Lord made them both (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

עָשִׁ֣יר וָ⁠רָ֣שׁ

rich and_[the],poor

A rich one and a poor one represent types of people in general, not a particular rich one and poor one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “Any wise person and any rich person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נִפְגָּ֑שׁוּ

have_~_incommon

Here Solomon speaks of people having something in common as if those people meet together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “have something in common”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

22:2 Remembering that the Lord made them both helps prevent the exploitation of the poor.
