UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִ֣ישׁ אֱ֭מוּנוֹת & וְ⁠אָ֥ץ

(a)_man faithful & and,in_a_hurry

A man of faithfulness and one who hurries refer to these types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “Any person of faithfulness … but any person who hurries”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אִ֣ישׁ אֱ֭מוּנוֹת

(a)_man faithful

Here Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by faithfulness. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “A faithful man”
