TSNTyndale Study Notes:

24:23-34 This addendum to the thirty sayings of the wise (22:17–24:22) includes five further sayings.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Laziness and Hard Work

God created Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden to tend it, not just to sit back and enjoy it (Gen 2:15). Work is not a result of the Fall but rather is a dignified and important part of creation.

The book of Proverbs frequently condemns laziness. The lazy are sarcastically compared to a door that swings back and forth (26:14), and they are lampooned for their empty excuses (e.g., 22:13). Proverbs equates lazy people with the foolish; their lack of productivity leads to poverty and death (6:6-10; 10:26; 15:19; 18:9; 19:15, 24; 20:4; 21:25; 22:13; 24:30-34; 26:13-16). By contrast, diligent people are seen as wise; their activities lead to wealth and life (10:4-6; 12:11; 13:4; 20:13; 31:10-27).

While it is true that ultimate meaning and fulfillment do not come from hard work (Eccl 2:17-26), and that our hard work must not cause us to forget God’s ability to provide (see Ps 127:2), we still have no excuse to be lazy. God designed us to use the gifts and abilities he has given us to be productive and to provide, as we are able, for ourselves and others (see Eph 4:28; 1 Thes 4:11-12; 2 Thes 3:6-13).

Passages for Further Study

Exod 23:12; Prov 6:6-11; 10:4-6, 26; 12:11, 24, 27; 13:4, 11; 14:4, 23; 15:19; 18:9; 19:15; 21:5, 25; 24:30-34; 26:13-16; 28:19; 31:10-31; Eccl 2:18-26; 4:5-6; 5:12; 9:10; 11:4-6; Rom 12:11; Eph 4:28; 1 Thes 4:11-12; 2 Thes 3:10-15


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וָֽ⁠אֶחֱזֶ֣ה אָ֭נֹכִֽי & רָ֝אִ֗יתִי

and,saw I & looked

The writer is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous two verses if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “And I myself looked at that field and vineyard … I saw them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

וָֽ⁠אֶחֱזֶ֣ה אָ֭נֹכִֽי

and,saw I

Here, the writer uses the word myself to emphasize how significant his observations about the lazy person’s land were. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: “And I looked with my own eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אָשִׁ֣ית לִבִּ֑⁠י

I_will_put/place heart,my

See how you translated the same use of “set your heart” in 22:17.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָקַ֥חְתִּי מוּסָֽר

received instruction

See how you translated the same use of instruction in 1:3.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לָקַ֥חְתִּי מוּסָֽר

received instruction

The writer assumes that his readers will understand that what follows in the next two verses is the instruction he refers to here. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “I received the following instruction” or “I learned the following lesson”
