UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דֶּ֥רֶךְ

road/way_of

See how you translated the same use of way in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִשָּׁ֗ה & אָ֭כְלָה וּ⁠מָ֣חֲתָה פִ֑י⁠הָ

woman/wife & eating and,wipes mouth_of,her

Here, a woman, she, and her refer to a type of women in general, not a specific woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “any woman … that woman eats and wipes her mouth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָ֭כְלָה וּ⁠מָ֣חֲתָה פִ֑י⁠הָ

eating and,wipes mouth_of,her

Agur is referring to an adulterous woman easily committing adultery as if she were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “she commits adultery easily” or “she is like a woman who eats and wipes her mouth”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

וְ֝⁠אָמְרָ֗ה לֹֽא־פָעַ֥לְתִּי אָֽוֶן

and,says not done wrong

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “and says that she has not done iniquity”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אָֽוֶן

wrong

See how you translated the abstract noun iniquity in [6:12](../06/12.md).
