SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:21–35: Fourth lesson: Be a good neighbor and do not behave like a wicked person

The father started this lesson by exhorting his son to always use sound judgment, because then he would have nothing to fear (3:21–26). He then told his son what to avoid in order to be a good neighbor. He advised him to not follow the behavior of wicked people (3:27–31). The lesson ends with a series of contrasts between the way that the LORD will treat the righteous and the wicked (3:32–35).

Another heading for this section is:

How to be a good neighbor

3:25

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning. The second line specifies the kind of people who experience disaster/ruin.

25aDo not fear sudden danger

25bor the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

3:25a

Do not fear sudden danger

Do not fear: There are two ways to interpret the Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as Do not fear:

  1. It is a command. For example:

    So don’t be afraid of sudden disasters (CEV) (BSB, NIV, NJB, REB, RSV, CEV, GW)

  2. It is a statement of fact. For example:

    You won’t be afraid of sudden trouble (NCV) (GNT, NJPS, NLT, NCV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), along with most versions. The Hebrew negative particle that is used here is the one that is normally used with a command.

sudden danger: The phrase that the BSB translates as sudden danger is more literally “sudden terror” (NJB). However, “terror” is often used as a figure of speech (metonymy) that represents the cause of terror: danger. The word danger also makes a better parallel with “ruin” in the second line. A sudden danger is one that is unexpected. The NCV provides another way to translate this phrase. It has:

sudden trouble (NCV)

3:25a–b

(combined/reordered)

3:25b

or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

the ruin that overtakes the wicked: The word that the BSB translates as ruin is literally “storm” (NRSV). It probably refers here to any kind of disaster or destruction. It does not refer primarily to a literal storm. The GNT uses a simile to express this figurative meaning. It has:

…sudden disasters, such as come on the wicked like a storm. (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ⁠פַּ֣חַד פִּתְאֹ֑ם וּ⁠מִ⁠שֹּׁאַ֥ת

from,terror sudden and,from_[the],devastation_of

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of dread and devastation, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “of dreadful things that happen suddenly and of any terrible thing concerning”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וּ⁠מִ⁠שֹּׁאַ֥ת רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים

and,from_[the],devastation_of wicked

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe the devastation that is related to the wicked ones in some way. This could mean: (1) the devastation that God will do to the wicked people. Alternate translation: “and of the devastation that happens to wicked people” (2) the devastation that wicked people do to others. Alternate translation: “and of the devastation that wicked people do”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

תָבֹֽא

comes

Here, it refers to the devastation mentioned earlier in the verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that devastation comes”
