UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אֵֽשֶׁת־חֵ֭ן

wife_of graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty

Here, woman refers to a type of woman in general, not one particular woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “Any woman of grace”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֵֽשֶׁת־חֵ֭ן

wife_of graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a woman who is characterized by grace. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “A woman who is gracious”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִּתְמֹ֣ךְ & יִתְמְכוּ

gains & gain

Here Solomon speaks of people obtaining honor and riches as if they were objects that someone could grasp. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will obtain … will obtain”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כָּב֑וֹד

honour

See how you translated the abstract noun honor in 3:16.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִתְמְכוּ־עֹֽשֶׁר

gain riches

Solomon contrasts this clause with the previous clause in order to imply that riches are not as important as honor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “will merely grasp riches”
