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.

24:34a

and poverty will come upon you like a robber,

But the result is that poverty will unexpectedly overtake him just like a robber suddenly attacks his victim.
Then what happens? To their surprise, they will become poor. It will be like a robber had attacked them.

24:34b

and need like a bandit.

Lack of what he needs to live will defeat him like an armed man defeats a traveler with no weapons.
They will have as little as if a criminal had robbed them.

24:34a–b

(combined/reordered)

But while he is sleeping, poverty will attack him like a robber with weapons.
If they often do that, they will become poor, just like a person who is robbed by a criminal.

24:34

This tells what will happen as a result of the lazy person’s attitude in 24:33. Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

^34aand poverty will come upon you like a robber,

^34band need like a bandit.

This verse is identical to 6:11. See the notes there for information on the ellipsis. See the notes in 6:11a–b for information on the figures of speech.

General Comment on 24:34a–b

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

but while you are asleep, poverty will attack you like an armed robber (GNT)
