SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 25:1–29:27: This is Hezekiah’s collection of Solomon’s proverbs

This section is the second collection of Solomon’s proverbs. These proverbs were organized and copied by men who served King Hezekiah. Most scholars divide this section into two groups. These groups differ in several ways.

The first group (chapters 25–27) has many more comparisons and admonitions. In Hebrew, most of these comparisons are metaphors in which one or more illustrations precede the topic. Some English versions change the order so that the topic precedes the illustration(s). You should follow the order that expresses the meaning naturally and effectively in your language.

In the first group, many proverbs are one verse long. As with the individual proverbs in the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs (Section 10:1–22:16), they are not related to the proverbs around them. Other proverbs in this group are two or more verses long. Still others are one-verse proverbs that are closely related in theme. Proverbs in all three categories will be marked as separate paragraphs.

The second group (chapters 28–29) has more contrastive proverbs. The proverbs in this group are each one verse long. They will not be marked as separate paragraphs.

Some other headings for this section are:

More Proverbs of Solomon (NIV)

Proverbs of Solomon Collected by Hezekiah (NET)

These are also wise things that Solomon said

Paragraph 26:23–26

These verses are warnings against evil people who deceive others with their words. They say nice things to conceal their true intentions to harm others.

Verse 23 gives an introductory example of this kind of deception. Verses 24–25 give more details about a particular deceiver along with a warning not to believe him. Verse 26 assures the reader that this person’s wickedness will eventually become known.

26:24–25

These two verses may form a single four-line proverb.According to Fox (page 800), each saying in 26:26–28 is “self-contained (with vv 24–25 forming a single maxim.)” Toy (page 479) agrees that these two verses may form a four-line proverb. The Notes will discuss each verse separately. See the General Comment on 26:24–25 after the note on 26:25b for ways to combine and/or reorder these four lines.

26:24

This verse contrasts the words that an enemy says to someone with his actual plans to harm the person.

24aA hateful man disguises himself with his speech,

24bbut he lays up deceit in his heart.

26:24a

A hateful man disguises himself with his speech,

A hateful man: In Hebrew, this phrase is literally “he who hates.” It refers to someone who is a personal enemy. Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

An enemy (NRSV)

The one who hates others (NET)

Those who hate you (NCV)

disguises himself with his speech: This phrase indicates that the enemy disguises or hides his true feelings and intentions with the words that he speaks. It implies that his words are insincere. Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

may hide it in speech (NJB)

may try to fool you with their words (NCV)

In some languages, it may be more natural to organize the parts of this line in a different way. For example:

A hypocrite hides hate behind flattering words. (GNT)

People may cover their hatred with pleasant words (NLT)

Notice that the GNT and NLT both make explicit the kind of words that the enemy speaks. This information is implied from 26:25a.

26:24b

but he lays up deceit in his heart.

but he lays up deceit: In Hebrew, this clause is literally “he puts/stores deceit.” It means that he continues to plan ways to deceive or betray the other person. Some other ways to translate this line are:

but he stores up deceit within him (NET)

but deep within lies treachery (NJB)

but in their minds they are planning ways to betray/deceive you

in his heart: In Hebrew, the phrase in his heart is more literally “within him,” as in the NET. Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

inside (GW)

in their minds (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בִּ֭שְׂפָתָיו יִנָּכֵ֣ר שׂוֹנֵ֑א וּ֝⁠בְ⁠קִרְבּ֗⁠וֹ יָשִׁ֥ית מִרְמָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: with,lips_of,his disguises enemy and,in,his_inner_of,being harbors deceit )

Here, his, one who hates, himself, him, and he refer to a type of person in general, not a specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “With the lips of any person who hates, that person disguises himself, but that person sets deceit within that person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ֭שְׂפָתָיו

(Some words not found in UHB: with,lips_of,his disguises enemy and,in,his_inner_of,being harbors deceit )

See how you translated the same use of lips in the previous verse.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִנָּכֵ֣ר & וּ֝⁠בְ⁠קִרְבּ֗⁠וֹ

disguises & and,in,his_inner_of,being

Here, himself and within him refer to what the one who hates is thinking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “disguises what he is thinking, but in his mind”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָשִׁ֥ית מִרְמָֽה

harbors deceit

Here Solomon speaks of the one who hates planning how to deceive someone as if deceit were an object that he sets within him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he secretly plans to deceive”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִרְמָֽה

deceit

Here Solomon implies that the one who hates plans to deceive the person he hates. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “deceit for the one he hates”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

26:23-26 People sometimes hide evil attitudes and wicked intentions through flattery. In the end, the true hatred of smooth talkers will be exposed.
