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.

Paragraph 24:17–18 Saying 28

In this saying, the author advises the young man not to rejoice when an enemy suffers disaster. If he rejoices, The LORD will be angry at his attitude and will stop punishing the enemy.

This saying is related to the previous saying by the parallel verbs that refer to disaster.

24:18

This verse gives the reason or motivation for the young man to obey the advice in 24:17. The reason is that if he disobeys, there will be bad consequences. This verse does not have parallel parts.

18aor the LORD will see and disapprove,

18band turn His wrath away from him.

24:18a

or the LORD will see and disapprove,

or: In Hebrew, this word is literally “lest.” It introduces the bad consequences in the rest of the verse.

the LORD will see: This part of the verse indicates that the LORD will notice or find out if the young man rejoices in the downfall of an enemy.

and disapprove: In Hebrew, this is literally “and it will be evil in his eyes.” It indicates that the LORD will be displeased with the young man’s behavior.

Some other ways to translate 24:18a are:

lest the Lord see it and be displeased (ESV)

for the LORD will know what you are doing, and he will not like it

In some languages, it may be more natural to leave the connection with the previous verse implied. For example:

The Lord will notice and be displeased. (NCV)

The Lord will see it, he won’t like it (GW)

In some languages, it may not be necessary to say explicitly that the LORD “will see.” For example:

For the Lord will be displeased with you (NLT)

This may be a good option if the meaning is understood implicitly.

24:18b

and turn His wrath away from him.

and turn His wrath away from him: This phrase indicates that the LORD will no longer direct his anger toward the young man’s enemy. He will stop punishing him. The preceding context (24:16–17) may imply that the disaster that made the enemy “stumble” was one of the ways in which the LORD showed his anger.According to Longman (page 440), “It appears that the fall of the enemy envisioned in v.17 is the result of divine anger against the enemy.” Fox (page 751) also speaks of the reader’s natural desire that his enemy “continue to suffer God’s wrath,” implying that the enemy’s fall was already a result of that wrath.

wrath: In Hebrew, this word is the most common word for anger. It refers here to the strong emotion that the LORD feels in response to a person’s sin. This response may involve punishment.NIDOTTE (H678) and TWOT (#133a) both define this word for “anger” (ʾap) as an intense emotional response. TWOT says that this “fierce” divine anger does not result in arbitrary or unpredictable deeds, but “it is expressed in chastisement and punishment.”

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

Then he will stop being angry with them. (CEV)

and then he will not punish him

and he will not be angry with them anymore

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

פֶּן־יִרְאֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה

lest he/it_will_see YHWH

Here, lest indicates that what follows is the result of doing what the writer prohibited in the previous verse. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result for not obeying a prohibition. Alternate translation: “otherwise, Yahweh will see”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִרְאֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה

he/it_will_see YHWH

Here, see refers to perceiving something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh perceive”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠רַ֣ע בְּ⁠עֵינָ֑י⁠ו

and,it_will_be_displeasing in,eyes_of,his

The phrase evil in his eyes refers to having a negative opinion about something or someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar use of in his eyes in [3:4](../03/04.md). Alternate translation: “and he will think negatively of it”

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠הֵשִׁ֖יב

and,he_will_turn_back

Here, and introduces the result of something being evil in his eyes. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate result. You may need to start a new sentence. Alternate translation: “As a result, he will turn away”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠הֵשִׁ֖יב מֵ⁠עָלָ֣י⁠ו אַפּֽ⁠וֹ

and,he_will_turn_back from,towards,him anger_of,his

Here, the writer refers to Yahweh ceasing to feel something about someone or to do something to someone as if he were turning away his nose from that person. Here, nose could refer to: (1) anger, as in [15:1](../15/01.md). Alternate translation: “and he ceases from being angry with him” (2) the punishment Yahweh applies to someone with whom he is angry. Alternate translation: “and he ceases punishing him”
