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

28:24

In this proverb, the first line is the topic of a metaphor. The second line is the illustration.

24aHe who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,”

24bis a companion to the man who destroys.

28:24a–b

He who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,” is a companion to the man who destroys: This metaphor compares a person who robs his parents and feels no remorse to a violent criminal (man who destroys). He is figuratively called a companion or partner because:

  1. he has a similar character;

  2. his actions have similar destructive results.

In some languages, a literal translation of this metaphor may be difficult to understand. Some other ways to translate the metaphor are:

28:24a

He who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,”

He who robs his father or mother: This phrase may refer to a son who will eventually inherit his parents’ property. He forces them to give up control of their own wealth and property prematurely. In this way he destroys their livelihood and perhaps also their reputation. The phrase father or mother is literally “father and mother.” In this context it may refer to either or both parents.

It is not wrong: The word wrong is literally “transgression.” It refers to a deliberate crime.

Some other ways to translate this idea are:

That is no crime (NRSV)

What’s wrong with that? (NLT)

That’s no sin (CSB)

28:24b

is a companion to the man who destroys.

is a companion to the man who destroys: In Hebrew, the phrase man who destroys refers to a violent criminal. Some other ways to translate this line are:

is partner to a thug (NRSV)

is no better than a murderer (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

גּוֹזֵ֤ל ׀ אָ֘בִ֤י⁠ו וְ⁠אִמּ֗⁠וֹ & ה֝֗וּא לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ מַשְׁחִֽית

robs his/its=father and,mother_of,his & he/it of,a_person who_destroys

One who robs, his, he, and a man refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person who robs that person’s own mother and father … that person … of a person of destruction”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וְ⁠אֹמֵ֥ר אֵֽין־פָּ֑שַׁע

and,[one_who]_says not crime

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and says that there is no transgression”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פָּ֑שַׁע

crime

See how you translated the abstract noun transgression in [10:19](../10/19.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

חָבֵ֥ר & לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ מַשְׁחִֽית

partner & of,a_person who_destroys

Here, companion refers to being just like a man of destruction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is the same kind of person as a man of destruction”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לְ⁠אִ֣ישׁ מַשְׁחִֽית

of,a_person who_destroys

The phrase man of destruction refers to a person who destroys other people, which is a murderer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “of a murderer”

28:24 Callous children who exploit their parents are wicked (see Exod 20:12).
