Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–22:16: This is the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs

This section is the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs. It has a very different structure from the longer poetic lectures of chapters 1–9. It consists mostly of individual couplets (two-line poems) that are each one verse in length. With the exception of the title (10:1a), paragraph breaks will not be indicated in the Notes or Display. You may of course choose to start each proverb as a separate paragraph in your translation.

In chapters 10–15, most of these one-verse couplets express a contrast between the two lines. One of the more common contrasts is between the righteous/wise and the wicked/foolish and the different consequences of their conduct.

In chapters 16:1–22:16, more topics are discussed. There is more emphasis on the role of the king and other leaders. In these chapters, there are few proverbs with contrasting lines. Some of the parallel lines are similar in meaning. More frequently, the second line adds to what the first line says or gives an example. Most of the verses have no obvious connection with the previous or following proverbs.UBS (page 214), Fox (page 509), McKane (page 413). Many scholars, including McKane, point out that there are some topical groupings as well as poetic connections. These include the repetition of certain words or sounds. This observation does not deny the individual nature of most of the proverbs in this Section.

Two of the types of proverbs in this section are not found in chapters 1–9. One type contains logical reasoning from the lesser to the greater. See 11:31 for a list of these proverbs. There are also several varieties of complex “better than” proverbs. The most common have a contrasting situation in each line (see 12:9). For other varieties, see 16:16, 19:1, and 21:9.

Many of the proverbs in this section refer to categories of people who share a common trait. For example, they refer to the righteous, the wise, the poor, and the lazy. In Hebrew, some verses use singular forms to refer to these groups of people. Other verses use plural forms. Still others use a combination of singular and plural. See the note on 10:30a–b for one example. For most of these verses, the Notes will not comment on the difference between singular and plural forms. Use a natural way in your language to refer to one or more people who are in the same category.

Many of the proverbs in this section express a general principle in abstract terms. They are not addressed specifically to the readers. For example, 10:2a–b says:

Ill-gotten treasures are of no value,

but righteousness delivers from death.

However, the author intended his readers to understand these proverbs as advice that they should follow. In some languages, authors or speakers give advice more directly, using pronouns such as you^(sing), you^(plur), we^(dual), or we^(incl). See the note on 10:2 for translation suggestions.

Some other headings for this section are:

Proverbs of Solomon (NIV)

The Wise Words of Solomon (NCV)

Here are many wise things that Solomon said

13:18

This proverb contrasts the results of ignoring discipline/correction with the results of heeding it. Notice the parallel parts that contrast in meaning:

^18a Poverty and shame come to *him who ignores discipline,

^18bbut whoever heeds correction is honored.

13:18b

but whoever heeds correction is honored.

But anyone who accepts rebuke/criticism will be respected/honored.
But if he is teachable, his fellowmen will respect/honor him.

13:18a–b

Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction is honored: These parallel phrases contrast the result of ignoring correction with the result of heeding it. If a person refuses to accept criticism, he will become poor (his financial condition). He will also be shamed/disgraced (his social condition).UBS (p. 297). If he accepts criticism, he will be honored. Another way to translate this is:

respected (GNT)

The verb is honored contrasts with both Poverty and shame. This contrast implies that a respected person is also wealthy.

ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction: A person who ignores discipline pays no attention or refuses to accept instruction, advice, rebuke, or discipline. The person who heeds correction accepts and learns from criticism or rebuke. No contrast is intended here between the meanings of discipline and correction. See the note on 12:1a–b, where the same two nouns occur.

Some ways to translate these parallel nouns are:

Use different terms. For example:
ignores instruction…heeds reproof (NRSV)
Use the same term in both lines. For example:
refuses correction…accepts correction (NCV)
ignore criticism…accept criticism (NLT96)

13:18a

Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline,

The person who pays no attention to discipline/correction will be poor and disgraced.
If a person refuses to learn when someone instructs/advises him, he will become poor and be ashamed.

Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline: In Hebrew, this clause is literally “Poverty and shame one who ignores discipline.” English versions supply a verb to clarify that poverty and shame are the result that is caused by ignoring discipline. Two ways to express this relationship are:

Put the result first. For example:
Poverty and shame befall the man who disregards correction (NAB)
Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction (ESV)
Put the cause first. For example:
To refuse correction brings poverty and humiliation (REB)
A person who refuses correction will end up poor and disgraced (NCV)

You may use whatever order is more natural in your language.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רֵ֣ישׁ וְ֭⁠קָלוֹן & מוּסָ֑ר & תּוֹכַ֣חַת

poverty and,shame & discipline & reproof

See how you translated the abstract nouns Poverty in [6:11](../06/11.md), shame in [6:33](../06/33.md), and correction and rebuke in [3:11](../03/11.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

פּוֹרֵ֣עַ & וְ⁠שׁוֹמֵ֖ר

ignores & and,[one_who]_keeps

Here, one avoiding and one keeping refer to people who do these things in general, but not to any specific one. If it would be helpful, you could use more natural expressions in your language. Alternate translation: “are for those who avoid … but those who keep”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שׁוֹמֵ֖ר

and,[one_who]_keeps

Here Solomon refers to someone accepting a rebuke from someone else as if a rebuke were an object that one keeps. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “but one who accepts”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יְכֻבָּֽד

honoured

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people will honor”
