SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–22: Second lesson: Wisdom will spare you from the dangers of crime and adultery

Here is a summary of the advice in this section: If you accept what I teach and seek to become wise (2:1–4), you will indeed become wise, and because of your wisdom, you will know how to revere the LORD and how to do what is right. You will also be protected (2:5–11). Wisdom will protect you from wicked men (2:12–15) and from adulterous women (2:16–19). Consequently, you will follow a righteous lifestyle and enjoy a long life in your own land, but the wicked will be forced to leave their land (2:20–22).

Some other headings for this section are:

The Benefits of Wisdom (NLT)

The Rewards of Wisdom (GNT)

The rewards/benefits that wisdom gives to people

Paragraph 2:12–15

This paragraph describes the first of the evil influences from which wisdom will protect a person. Some English versions, such as the NIV, start a new paragraph here. Others, such as the BSB, NRSV, and NJB, continue the same paragraph. You may use whatever paragraph structure is more natural in your language. See the note on 2:12a for ways to connect 2:12a to 2:11b.

2:13

This verse contains parallel parts that contrast in meaning.Toy (page 43) identifies the parallelism in this verse as antithetical. The phrase “straight paths” contrasts with “ways of darkness.”

13afrom those who leave the straight paths

13bto walk in the ways of darkness,

Notice that 2:13b gives the purpose for 2:13a.

2:13a

from those who leave the straight paths

2:13b

to walk in the ways of darkness,

2:13a–b

from those who leave the straight paths to walk in the ways of darkness: The phrases straight paths and ways of darkness are both metaphors that refer to conduct. To leave the straight paths means to abandon a good course of conduct. To walk in the ways of darkness means to follow evil conduct. Since the “path” metaphor occurs throughout Proverbs, and the metaphor of “darkness” occurs throughout Scripture, translators should try to retain these concepts if possible.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הַ֭⁠עֹ֣זְבִים

[who],leave

See how you translated the same use of forsake in [1:8](../01/08.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָרְח֣וֹת יֹ֑שֶׁר

paths_of uprightness

Here, the paths of straightness refers to behaving in a right manner. The word paths refers to human behavior, and straightness refers to being righteous. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “doing what is right” or “acting rightly”

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לָ֝⁠לֶ֗כֶת

to=go

Here, to introduces the purpose for forsaking the paths of straightness. Use a natural way in your language to indicate purpose. Alternate translation: “for the purpose of walking”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לָ֝⁠לֶ֗כֶת בְּ⁠דַרְכֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ

to=go in,the_ways_of darkness

This phrase refers to behaving in an evil manner. The biblical authors often use walk to refer to how someone behaves and they use darkness to refer to evil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to do what is evil” or “to behave in an evil manner”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:1-22 The father urges his son to seek wisdom. It will protect him from evil men and from the dangers of promiscuous women. The son must seek wisdom, while understanding that it is a gift from God.
