SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–27: Tenth lesson: Here is an example of a young man who was seduced by a married woman

This lesson is another warning to avoid adultery. It begins with an appeal that the son pay attention to his father’s advice. This advice will protect him from being seduced by an adulteress (7:1–5). The main part of the lesson has the form of a first person narrative. The narrator tells how he observed a young man being seduced (7:6–23). First the story focuses on the young man (7:6–9), then it describes the adulteress (7:10–12) and her enticing words (7:13–20). Finally it tells how the young man yielded to the temptation (7:21–23). The lesson concludes with an appeal that the son follow his father’s advice rather than be seduced by the adulteress, because involvement with her will lead to death (7:24–27).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against the Adulteress (NIV)

The story about an adulteress who tempted a young man

Paragraph 7:21–23

This paragraph gives the result of the woman’s flattering and persuasive words in 7:14–20. Some translations make this explicit at the beginning of verse 21. For example:

And so… (CEV)

So… (NLT)

7:23a

until an arrow pierces his liver,

until an arrow pierces his liver: This line describes a deer that is caught in a noose. When the hunter finds it, he shoots an arrow into its heart to kill it.

liver: The word that the BSB translates here as liver represents the place in the body where the animal’s life is located.Toy (page 157). The NRSV translates it as “entrails.” Some modern versions, such as the GNT, translate it as “heart,” because an arrow that is shot into the heart normally kills an animal.

7:23b

like a bird darting into a snare—

like a bird darting into a snare: This phrase refers to a small bird that flies swiftly into a snare or trap that is baited with grain.

7:23c

not knowing it will cost him his life.

not knowing it will cost him his life: This phrase refers to the young man, not to the bird. He did not realize that he would die as a result of what he was about to do. As in 2:18a, the phrase translated as cost him his life probably refers to physical death.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יְפַלַּ֪ח חֵ֡ץ כְּֽבֵד֗⁠וֹ

pierces arrow liver_of,his

Here, liver refers to an organ in one’s body that one needs in order to remain alive. Solomon means that the arrow will kill whomever it strikes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “an arrow pierces his vital organs” or “an arrow kills him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠מַהֵ֣ר צִפּ֣וֹר אֶל־פָּ֑ח

as,hurries bird to/towards snare

Solomon compares the young man who is quickly doing something that will kill him to a bird rushing into a trap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he quickly goes to be killed like a bird rushing into a trap”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

הֽוּא

he/it

The pronoun it here refers to committing adultery. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “committing adultery” or “having sex with a married woman”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְ⁠נַפְשׁ֥⁠וֹ הֽוּא

[is]_for,life_of,his he/it

This phrase is an idiom that means that this person will die as a result of what he did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an idiom with the same meaning from your language or you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it would cost him his life” or “it would kill him”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:1-27 This is the last of four sections in chs 1–9 that warn against the dangers of promiscuous women (see also 2:16-22; 5:1-23; 6:20-35).
