SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–36: Wisdom calls out to people and reminds them of the benefits of being wise

In contrast to the previous section describing the adulterous woman, this section describes personified Wisdom. The public setting for Wisdom’s speech is described in 8:1–3. In 8:4–11, she addresses all mankind and describes her own character. In 8:12–21, she provides reasons why people should choose her. Additional motivation is given in 8:22–31: Wisdom was with the LORD when he created the world. The section ends with Wisdom appealing to mankind to follow her teaching (8:32–36).

This section is a speech by personified Wisdom. As in Wisdom’s speech in 1:20–33, the Notes have used a capital letter for Wisdom in most verses. However, in her speech, Wisdom sometimes refers to “wisdom” as an ability that people have or use or should try to obtain. In some of these contexts, the Notes have used small letters for “wisdom.” The Display will often give more than one option. You may use either option in your language, depending on what is appropriate in each context.

Some other headings for this section are:

Wisdom’s Call (NIV)

Listen to Wisdom (NCV)

The good qualities of Wisdom

Wisdom’s second invitation to people

Paragraph 8:12–21

After again identifying herself and the qualities that she is associated with (12–13), Wisdom describes why people should choose her. They should choose her because she is the basis of an orderly society (14–16). She is also the source of wealth and other benefits to those who seek and find her (17–21).

8:21

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

21a bestowing wealth on those who love me

21band making their treasuries full.

8:21a

bestowing wealth on those who love me

8:21b

and making their treasuries full.

8:21a–b

bestowing wealth…making their treasuries full: Although the benefits that Wisdom gives are better than gold and silver (8:19), they do include material wealth.

bestowing wealth: The word bestowing means to give something to someone as a permanent possession. This possession can be passed on as an inheritance. For example:

to give an inheritance to those who love me (GW)

In Hebrew, the word wealth is a different word from either the words “riches” or “wealth” used in 8:18. It probably refers to land/property rather than money or valuable objects.The Hebrew word here is normally used as an existential, meaning “there is.” UBS (page 188) understands the word to refer here to “a great amount of accumulated money or financial fortune.” Fox, Toy, Delitzsch, and Whybray suggest that it refers to property, such as land. If possible, use a word that can refer to various kinds of inherited wealth.

treasuries: The word treasuries refers to buildings used for storing valuable materials. Another way to translate it is:

filling their houses with treasures (GNT)

Since the two terms “wealth” and “treasuries” are parallel to each other, they probably refer in general to all types of wealth, both property and otherwise.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

לְ⁠הַנְחִ֖יל אֹהֲבַ֥⁠י

to,give_as_an_inheritance [those_of,who]_love_me

Here, to indicates that what follows is the purpose for what Wisdom does in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose. You may want to begin a new sentence. Alternate translation: “I do that for the purpose of causing those who love me to inherit”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֹצְרֹ֖תֵי⁠הֶ֣ם

and,treasuries_of,their

The word treasuries refers to buildings or rooms where people store valuable things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “and their buildings where they store precious things”
