TSNTyndale Study Notes:

23:26-28 Saying 17: Falling for a promiscuous woman is a trap, not a source of benefit. Proverbs repeatedly emphasizes avoiding sexual relations outside of marriage (see ch 5; 6:20-35; 7:1-27).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

23:2628 is Saying 17 of the 30 “words of the wise ones.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תְּנָֽ⁠ה & לִבְּ⁠ךָ֣ לִ֑⁠י

give, & heart,your to=me

Here, the writer refers to paying careful attention to someone as if the son were to give his heart to him. The word heart here refers to a person’s mind, as in 2:2. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “pay careful attention to me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

וְ֝⁠עֵינֶ֗י⁠ךָ דְּרָכַ֥⁠י תִּצֹּֽרְנָה

and,eyes,your ways,my (Some words not found in UHB: give, son,my heart,your to=me and,eyes,your ways,my observe )

The writer is using an appeal statement to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words using a command form. Alternate translation: “and make your eyes watch my ways”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ֝⁠עֵינֶ֗י⁠ךָ & תִּצֹּֽרְנָה

and,eyes,your & (Some words not found in UHB: give, son,my heart,your to=me and,eyes,your ways,my observe )

Here, eyes the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and may you look carefully at”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דְּרָכַ֥⁠י

ways,my

See how you translated the same use of ways in 3:6.
