UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

זִמַּ֣ת אִוֶּ֣לֶת & לֵֽץ

devising folly & scoffer

A scheme of folly and a mocker refer to schemes and mockers in general, not a specific scheme or mocker. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any scheme of folly … any mocker”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

זִמַּ֣ת אִוֶּ֣לֶת

devising folly

Here, the writer is using the possessive form to describe a scheme that is characterized by folly. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “A scheme characterized by folly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אִוֶּ֣לֶת & וְ⁠תוֹעֲבַ֖ת

See how you translated the abstract nouns folly in 5:23 and abomination in 3:32.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ⁠אָדָ֣ם

to/for=ʼĀdām/humankind

The word man represents people in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “to mankind”
