SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:23–34: Here are more sayings of wise people

The first verse (24:23a) indicates that this section is an additional list of sayings of wise people. This list has been added to the preceding section (22:17–24:22). The sayings range from one to five verses. Each saying will be marked as a separate paragraph in the Notes. As in the English versions, the sayings in this section will not be numbered.

Three of the sayings (24:23b–25, 24:26, and 24:30–34) are general principles. They are not addressed specifically to the readers. See the notes on 10:2 for ways to translate this kind of proverb.

In the other two sayings (24:27 and 24:28–29), the author uses second person commands and pronouns (you(sing)). Unlike the preceding section, he does not use the phrase “my son” explicitly in these commands.

Some other headings for this section are:

More Wise Sayings (GNT)

More Sayings of the Wise (ESV)

These Are Further Words of Wise People

Paragraph 24:30–34

In this saying, the author first tells a story about what he observed when he passed by the property of a lazy person (24:30–31). He then tells the readers that he learned a lesson from what he saw (24:32). He summarizes the lesson by quoting a well-known proverb. The proverb teaches that laziness results in poverty (24:33–34).

Proverbs 6:6–11 also gives advice to lazy people. The concluding proverb (6:10–11) is identical to 24:33–34.

24:33

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

33a A little sleep,

33b a little slumber,

33c a little folding of the hands to rest,

24:33a

A little sleep,

24:33b

a little slumber,

24:33c

a little folding of the hands to rest,

24:33a–c

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest: This verse is identical to 6:10a–c. See the notes there. However, in the preceding context of those verses (6:6–9), the writer addressed the lazy person directly. He told him to go and learn a lesson from observing the life of ants. Here in 24:33, the writer relates what he himself learned from looking at a lazy person’s vineyard.

In 6:10, he probably spoke sarcastically and mimicked the words or attitude of lazy people. Here in 24:33, he is not being sarcastic, but he uses the same three phrases. These are the words that a lazy person would probably say or think. In some languages, it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

A lazy person says to himself, “A little sleep,…”

In some languages, it may be more natural to translate the three phrases as intended actions. See the second set of meaning lines in the Display.

Because of the different context, you may need to translate the implied information here differently from the implied information in 6:10.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
