SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:1–19: Here are several practical admonitions and warnings

This section contains practical warnings about four specific and unrelated areas of behavior. The first warning is about the danger of cosigning a loan for another person (6:1–5). The second paragraph speaks highly of the diligence of the ant and warns against laziness (6:6–11). The third paragraph briefly describes the behavior of a worthless scoundrel (6:12–15). The last paragraph is in the form of a numerical proverb and lists seven sins that the LORD hates (6:16–19).

Some other headings for this section are:

More Warnings (GNT)

Dangers of Being Foolish (NCV)

Warnings Against Folly (NIV)

Paragraph 6:16–19

This paragraph begins with a numerical proverb (6:16). In a numerical proverb, the second line contains a number (in this case, seven) that is one greater than the parallel number (six) in the first line. This kind of proverb is always followed by a list of items corresponding to the number in the second line. The two numbers are primarily a poetic feature. They should not imply that the author is unsure of the number of items or that he changed his mind. Four other numerical proverbs occur in chapter 30.

6:16

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

16a There are six things the LORD hates,

16b seven that are detestable to Him:

6:16a–b

(combined/reordered)

There are six things…seven: The two numbers function together as a pair. They indicate that the list that follows will contain seven character traits, attitudes, or actions that the LORD hates. Although this list is specific, it should not imply that these are the only things that the LORD hates. One way to avoid this implication is to translate: “Here/These are seven things….” Some scholars feel that the seventh item may be the climax or focus of the list. (See the note for 6:19b.)

that the LORD hates…that are detestable to Him: The word that the BSB translates as detestable is similar in meaning to hates, but it has stronger connotations. It refers to something that the LORD “abhors” (NJB) or something that is “disgusting to him” (GW).

General Comment on 6:16a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder the parallel lines. For example:

There are seven things that the Lord hates and cannot tolerate. (GNT)

6:16a

There are six things that the LORD hates,

6:16b

seven that are detestable to Him:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שֶׁשׁ־הֵ֭נָּה שָׂנֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝⁠שֶׁ֗בַע תועבות נַפְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: six they(f) hates YHWH and_[are],seven abomination_of his_self_of,his )

To make a comprehensive statement, Solomon is using a rhetorical device in which the speaker names a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increases that number by one for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh absolutely hates these seven things, and they are abominations to his self]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

שֶׁשׁ & וְ֝⁠שֶׁ֗בַע

(Some words not found in UHB: six they(f) hates YHWH and_[are],seven abomination_of his_self_of,his )

Here Solomon is using the adjectives Six and seven as nouns to mean six and seven things. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [Six things … and seven things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תועבות

abomination_of

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abominations, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [are abominable to]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

נַפְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: six they(f) hates YHWH and_[are],seven abomination_of his_self_of,his )

Here, self refers to Yahweh himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [him]
