Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 25:1–29:27: This is Hezekiah’s collection of Solomon’s proverbs

This section is the second collection of Solomon’s proverbs. These proverbs were organized and copied by men who served King Hezekiah. Most scholars divide this section into two groups. These groups differ in several ways.

The first group (chapters 25–27) has many more comparisons and admonitions. In Hebrew, most of these comparisons are metaphors in which one or more illustrations precede the topic. Some English versions change the order so that the topic precedes the illustration(s). You should follow the order that expresses the meaning naturally and effectively in your language.

In the first group, many proverbs are one verse long. As with the individual proverbs in the main collection of Solomon’s proverbs (Section 10:1–22:16), they are not related to the proverbs around them. Other proverbs in this group are two or more verses long. Still others are one-verse proverbs that are closely related in theme. Proverbs in all three categories will be marked as separate paragraphs.

The second group (chapters 28–29) has more contrastive proverbs. The proverbs in this group are each one verse long. They will not be marked as separate paragraphs.

Some other headings for this section are:

More Proverbs of Solomon (NIV)

Proverbs of Solomon Collected by Hezekiah (NET)

These are also wise things that Solomon said

27:13

The two lines of this proverb are similar in meaning.

^13a Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger;

^13b get collateral if it is for a foreigner. get collateral if it is for a foreigner

This verse is identical to 20:16. See the notes there. There is a textual issue that will be discussed in 27:13b, since the issue here is different from the issue in 20:16b.

27:13a-b

(combined/reordered)

¶ Someone who lends money to a stranger or foreigner should insist on a security deposit from the person who guarantees/cosigns the loan.

foreigner: There is a textual issue here:

The LXX and Vulgate apparently follow a text that has “foreigners” (masculine plural). For example:
foreigners (NRSV) (BSB, CEV, ESV, GW, KJV, NCV, NET, NLT, NJB, NAB, NIV11, NRSV, REB, GNT)
The Masoretic Text (MT) has “foreign woman” (feminine singular). For example:
wayward woman (NIV) (ESV, NASB, NIV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1), along with most versions and scholars.Scholars who support the LXX and Vulgate include Fox, Hubbard, Toy, and Delitzsch. Waltke prefers the MT. See Waltke (pp. 369 and 381) for more details. This option frequently occurs as a parallel term with “stranger.” Although “foreigners” is plural, it can refer here to a single foreigner, as in the BSB.

27:13a

Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger;

¶ Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan, (NCV)
¶ If you^(sing) lend money to a person you do not know and someone guarantees to pay his debt, be sure to get something valuable from the one who made the guarantee.

27:13b

get collateral if it is for a foreigner.

and keep^(sing) it as a deposit to guarantee that he will pay what the stranger owes.
Keep it to ensure that this person will pay the debt if the unknown borrower does not pay it.
