uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כְּ֭⁠כֶלֶב שָׁ֣ב עַל־קֵא֑⁠וֹ כְּ֝סִ֗יל שׁוֹנֶ֥ה בְ⁠אִוַּלְתּֽ⁠וֹ

like,dog returns on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in vomit_of,its fool repeats in/on/at/with,folly_of,his

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses. Alternate translation: “A stupid one who repeats his folly is like a dog that returns to its vomit”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

כְּ֭⁠כֶלֶב שָׁ֣ב עַל־קֵא֑⁠וֹ כְּ֝סִ֗יל שׁוֹנֶ֥ה בְ⁠אִוַּלְתּֽ⁠וֹ

like,dog returns on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in vomit_of,its fool repeats in/on/at/with,folly_of,his

Here, a dog, its, a stupid one, and his refer to dogs and a type of person in general, not a specific dog or person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a stupid one in [10:18](../10/18.md). Alternate translation: “Like any dog that returns to that dog’s vomit is any stupid person who repeats that person’s own folly”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

כְּ֭⁠כֶלֶב

like,dog

A dog is an animal that is considered to be unclean and disgusting by Jews and many cultures of the Ancient Near East. Therefore, comparing someone to a dog is insulting. If dogs are unfamiliar to your culture and you have a different animal that is considered unclean and disgusting or whose name is used as an insult, you could use the name of that animal instead.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שָׁ֣ב עַל־קֵא֑⁠וֹ

returns on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in vomit_of,its

Here Solomon implies that the dog returns to its vomit in order to eat it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that returns to eat its vomit”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְ⁠אִוַּלְתּֽ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,folly_of,his

See how you translated the abstract noun folly in [5:23](../05/23.md).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
