UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אַנְשֵׁ֣י דָ֭מִים

men_of bloodthirsty

Here Solomon uses the possessive form to refer to Men who shed the blood of other people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “Men who shed the blood of others” or “Men who kill others”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

תָ֑ם

blameless

See how you translated this phrase in 11:5 and “blameless ones” in 2:21.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וִֽ֝⁠ישָׁרִ֗ים יְבַקְשׁ֥וּ נַפְשֽׁ⁠וֹ

and,upright seek life,his

Here, the phrase seek his life could refer to: (1) upright ones desiring to protect the life of a blameless one. Alternate translation: “want to protect his life” (2) Men of bloodshed desiring to kill upright ones, in which case singular his would refer to plural upright ones. Alternate translation: “and they want to kill upright ones”
