SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:17–24:22: Here are thirty sayings of wise people

This section follows the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs (10:1–22:16). It differs in significant ways from this preceding section:These differences were summarized from a number of commentaries, including UBS (page 472), Waltke (2004, page 22), and Hubbard (page 351).

  1. The preceding section has mostly two-line proverbs that are one verse in length. This section has proverbs of a different form. They are sayings that range from one to seven verses. Most of the sayings are two or three verses in length. Each saying will be marked as a separate paragraph in the Notes.

  2. Many of the proverbs in the preceding section express a general principle. They are not addressed specifically to the readers. Most of the sayings here contain direct commands. They advise the reader or listener either to follow wise behavior or avoid foolish behavior. Most of the sayings also give a reason or motive for following the command.

  3. As in chapters 1–9, the author addresses his reader or listener as a father who advises his son. He uses second person commands and pronouns (you(sing)). See the note on 23:15 for a list of verses where the words “my son” occur.

Some other headings for this section are:

Thirty Wise Sayings (CEV)

Words of the Wise (ESV)

Thirty Sayings of the Wise (NIV11)

Verse 22:20 mentions “thirty sayings,” but the Hebrew text itself does not number the sayings. Some versions that use the word “thirty” in the section heading also give a number as a separate heading for each saying. The GNT and CEV start numbering the sayings at 22:22. They have a total of thirty-one paragraphs. In these versions, the first paragraph (22:17–21) serves as an introduction to the thirty sayings (22:22–24:22).Scholars who identify 22:17–21 as the first saying include Hubbard (page 352), Fox (page 707), and Waltke (2004, page 22). Scholars who identify these verses as an introduction to the sayings that follow include Whybray (page 325) and Murphy (page 170). See also the NET footnote (b) on 22:16. Whether these introductory verses form the first saying or simply introduce the following sayings, all scholars agree that they function as an introduction to the whole section. Other versions, such as the NIV, NCV, and NLT, divide the paragraphs in the same way but do not have separate headings for each section. You may use either option in your translation.The NIV11 gives a number as a separate heading for each saying. But it counts the first paragraph as the first saying, and has a total of thirty paragraphs. Other versions have more or fewer paragraphs. For example, the ESV and NRSV have fifteen paragraphs. The NJB has thirty-four. Still other versions, such as the RSV, NET, and NJPS, do not group the verses into sayings or paragraphs.

For the convenience of those who decide to identify the number of each saying in their translation, the Notes will put the number in the paragraph headings, using the same numbering system as the GNT or CEV. These numbers will not be used in the Display.

22:24

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

24a Do not make friends with an angry man,

24b do not associate with a hot-tempered man,

These parallel commands warn the listener not to associate with a person who frequently loses his temper.

22:24a–b

(combined/reordered)

Do not make friends with…and do not associate with: These parallel commands have essentially the same meaning. Some other ways to translate these commands are:

Do not associate with…or go about with (NJPS)

Never make friends with…nor keep company with (REB)

Don’t make friends with…or spend time with (NCV)

an angry man…a hot-tempered man: In Hebrew, the first phrase is literally “master of anger.” The second phrase is literally “man of heats/rages.” These phrases both describe a person who is characterized by anger and easily loses his temper.Hubbard (page 355), Fox (page 716). Some other ways to translate these phrases are:

angry people…hot-tempered people (NLT)

someone prone to anger…anyone hot-tempered (REB

a person who easily/always gets angry…a person who easily loses his temper

If your language has idioms that express these meanings, consider using them here.

General Comment on 22:24a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder the parallel parts. For example:

Don’t make friends with anyone who has a bad temper. (CEV)

Don’t make friends with people who are always angry and lose their tempers.

22:24a

Do not make friends with an angry man,

22:24b

and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,

uW Translation Notes:

אַל־תִּ֭תְרַע אֶת־בַּ֣עַל אָ֑ף וְ⁠אֶת־אִ֥ישׁ חֵ֝מוֹת לֹ֣א תָבֽוֹא

not (Some words not found in UHB: not make_friends DOM man_of anger and=DOM (a)_man hot-tempered not associate )

[22:24](../22/24.md)–[25](../22/25.md) is Saying 2 of the 30 “words of the wise ones.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־תִּ֭תְרַע אֶת־בַּ֣עַל אָ֑ף וְ⁠אֶת־אִ֥ישׁ חֵ֝מוֹת לֹ֣א תָבֽוֹא

not (Some words not found in UHB: not make_friends DOM man_of anger and=DOM (a)_man hot-tempered not associate )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [Do not befriend an owner of nose, yes, do not go with a man of heat]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אֶת־בַּ֣עַל אָ֑ף & אִ֥ישׁ חֵ֝מוֹת

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: not make_friends DOM man_of anger and=DOM (a)_man hot-tempered not associate )

Here, an owner of nose and a man of heat refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful, you could use more natural expressions in your language. Alternate translation: [any owner of nose … any person of heat]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶת־בַּ֣עַל אָ֑ף

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: not make_friends DOM man_of anger and=DOM (a)_man hot-tempered not associate )

The phrase is an idiom that refers to a person who is characteristically angry. The word nose means “anger” by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [an angry person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אִ֥ישׁ חֵ֝מוֹת

(a)_man hot-tempered

See how you translated this phrase in [15:18](../15/18.md).
