SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:1–12: Third lesson: Humbly trust in the LORD

This lesson consists of a series of commands. Each set of parallel commands is followed by a promised result, except for 3:12, which gives a reason for the command.

Another heading for this section is:

Trusting in the Lord (NLT)

3:7

The first line of this verse gives a negative command. The second line gives two positive commands. The commands are not parallel in meaning.

3:7a

Be not wise in your own eyes;

Be not wise in your own eyes: This verse does not say whether the person spoken to is wise or not. It is a warning against self-confidence or pride in one’s own wisdom. Some other ways to translate this command are:

Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are (GNT)

Don’t ever think that you are wise enough (CEV)

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. (NLT)

3:7b

fear the LORD and turn away from evil.

fear the LORD and turn away from evil: For fear the LORD, see the note on 1:7a. Some other ways to translate turn away from evil is are:

turn your back on evil (NLT96)

stay away from evil (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠עֵינֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: not be wise in,your_two's_own_of,eyes fear DOM YHWH and,turn_aside from,evil )

Here Solomon speaks of a person’s opinion as if that person were seeing something with his eyes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in your own opinion]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

יְרָ֥א אֶת־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְ⁠ס֣וּר מֵ⁠רָֽע

fear DOM YHWH and,turn_aside from,evil

This clause is a strong contrast with the previous clause. While the previous clause said what a person should not do, this clause says what that person should do instead. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate a contrast. You may need to start a new sentence. Alternate translation: [Rather, fear Yahweh and turn from evil]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠ס֣וּר מֵ⁠רָֽע

and,turn_aside from,evil

Here Solomon speaks of refusing to do evil actions as if a person were turning away from evil. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and do not commit evil acts]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מֵ⁠רָֽע

from,evil

See how you translated the abstract noun evil in [1:16](../01/16.md).
