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

27:12a

The prudent see danger and take cover;

¶ A sensible person sees/realizes that trouble is coming, so he stays/gets away from it.
¶ If you^(sing) are intelligent/clever, you will be able to see that you face danger, and you will be careful to avoid/escape it.

27:12b

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

But people who are naïve/inexperienced just continue what they are doing without thinking, so/and they suffer the consequences.
But if you^(sing) are easily deceived, you will keep going. As a result, you will endure the trouble/punishment.

27:12

This proverb contrasts a shrewd person with people who are naïve or inexperienced. These two kinds of people respond to danger or trouble in two different ways. A shrewd person recognizes danger and avoids it. Those who are naïve fail to avoid danger and suffer the consequences.

^12a The prudent see danger and take cover;

^12bbut the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

In Hebrew, this verse is identical to 22:3.In Hebrew, there are three conjunctions (waw) in 22:3. Verse 27:12 has no conjunctions, but the meaning is identical. See the notes there. Many English versions translate both of these verses in the same way, although the BSB says “pay the penalty” here and “suffer the consequences” in 22:3.
