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.

Proverbs of Solomon (NIV)

The Wise Words of Solomon (NCV)

Here are many wise things that Solomon said

22:8

This proverb uses two metaphors to teach that people who treat others unjustly will suffer bad consequences themselves.Longman (page 406). The first metaphor is about agriculture (sowing and reaping). The second metaphor is about physical punishment (striking with a rod).Hubbard (page 347), Cook (page 62).

8a He who sows injustice will reap disaster,

8band the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

Each parallel line describes a consequence of wicked behavior. The parallel parts in the second line are more specific than the similar parts in the first line.

22:8a

He who sows injustice will reap disaster,

He who sows injustice will reap disaster: This is a metaphor. It compares a person who treats others wrongly to a person who plants seeds and then harvests the crop. A person who plants seeds of wickedness or injustice will harvest a crop of disaster.

injustice: In Hebrew, this word refers to treating other people wrongly, unfairly, or unjustly. It includes legal injustice, such as bribery. It also includes treating other people unfairly in business dealings or oppressing them in other ways.NIDOTTE (H6406), TWOT (#1580b), Waltke (page 208).

disaster: In Hebrew, this word usually refers to evil behavior. Here, it refers to the results of such behavior—trouble, misfortune, or disaster.Fox (page 699). See how you translated the same word in 12:21b.

Some ways to translate this metaphor are:

22:8b

and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

and the rod of his fury will be destroyed: This is a metaphor. It describes a person who angrily uses his power to oppress or mistreat someone else. It compares him to a person who strikes someone in anger with a rod. As a result, his power will be destroyed. He will no longer be able to oppress others.

the rod of his fury: This phrase means “the rod/cane that he uses to strike someone because of his intense anger.” It could refer to literally hitting someone with a rod. However, the rod is probably a symbol of power and authority. The person uses this power to cause hardship to other people.Cohen (page 147), Ross (page 1062), Waltke (page 209).

will be destroyed: In Hebrew, this verb is literally “will fail,” as in the NRSV. In this context, it indicates that the wicked person will stop mistreating others. This may be because he dies or is killed or because his power to abuse others is taken away.Fox (page 699).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

זוֹרֵ֣עַ עַ֭וְלָה & עֶבְרָת֣⁠וֹ

sows injustice & his_fury_of,his

A sower of iniquity and his refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any sower of iniquity … that person’s rage”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

זוֹרֵ֣עַ עַ֭וְלָה יקצור־אָ֑וֶן

sows injustice reap calamity

Here Solomon speaks of someone who does iniquity experiencing disaster as if iniquity were a seed that he plants and disaster were the plant that the seed becomes and that he harvests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “A doer of iniquity will experience the consequences” or “A doer of iniquity will experience disaster like someone who reaps the crops from the seeds he planted”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עַ֭וְלָה

injustice

See how you translated the abstract noun iniquity in [6:12](../06/12.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ⁠שֵׁ֖בֶט עֶבְרָת֣⁠וֹ

and,the_rod_of his_fury_of,his

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a rod that a sower of iniquity uses to express his rage by oppressing people. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “and the rod he uses to oppressively express his rage”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שֵׁ֖בֶט

and,the_rod_of

Here Solomon refers to a person’s authority over other people as if it were a rod. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the authority of”
