OET interlinear PRO 25:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹא־ט֑וֹב

not good

See how you translated the same use of not good in [16:29](../16/29.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠חֵ֖קֶר כְּבֹדָ֣⁠ם כָּבֽוֹד

and,seek_of glory_of,one's_own glory

Solomon is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and the searching out of their honor is not honor”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠חֵ֖קֶר

and,seek_of

In this verse, Solomon compares eating much honey tosearching out one’s own honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly: Alternate translation: “and similarly, the searching out of”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠חֵ֖קֶר כְּבֹדָ֣⁠ם

and,seek_of glory_of,one's_own

Here Solomon speaks of someone trying to get other people to honor him as if honor were an object that a person could search for. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and trying to make other people honor you”
