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 7:1–27: Tenth lesson: Here is an example of a young man who was seduced by a married woman

This lesson is another warning to avoid adultery. It begins with an appeal that the son pay attention to his father’s advice. This advice will protect him from being seduced by an adulteress (7:1–5). The main part of the lesson has the form of a first person narrative. The narrator tells how he observed a young man being seduced (7:6–23). First the story focuses on the young man (7:6–9), then it describes the adulteress (7:10–12) and her enticing words (7:13–20). Finally it tells how the young man yielded to the temptation (7:21–23). The lesson concludes with an appeal that the son follow his father’s advice rather than be seduced by the adulteress, because involvement with her will lead to death (7:24–27).

Some other headings for this section are:

Warning Against the Adulteress (NIV)

The story about an adulteress who tempted a young man

Paragraph 7:10–12

The adulterous woman’s appearance is described in 7:10. In 7:11–12, there is a description of the woman’s character and her typical activities. This one woman’s character and activities may be common to immoral wives in general.

7:11–12

Verses 7:11–12 contain further information about the woman mentioned in 7:10. Some versions, like the NIV, put these two verses in parentheses, because they describe the woman’s general pattern of behavior, not what happened in this particular story.

If your language has a way to indicate background information that is not part of the main action of the story, you will want to use it here. Another way to make clear that these verses do not describe the events of this story is to refer to immoral wives in general. For example, other ways to translate 7:11a are:

She was the brash, rebellious type (NLT)

She was one of those women who are loud… (CEV)

7:11a

She is loud and defiant;

She was one of the kind of women who speak with a loud voice and are rebellious.
She was one of those women who talk loudly and rebel against their husbands.

She is loud: The word loud describes the woman’s voice. She speaks in a loud and boisterous manner.

and defiant: The word defiantAlthough TWOT (#1549) feels that the Akkadian meaning “unstable” should be understood here (the Akkadian cognate can mean either “stubborn” or “unstable”), NIDOTTE (H6253) points out that the Hebrew verb occurs 18 times to describe rebellion. The meaning “stubborn/defiant/rebellious” is supported by most versions as well as Fox, Murphy, Delitzsch, and UBS. As Fox (page 244) comments, the verb “is always used of a person incorrigibly defiant to proper authority. The authority the woman is defying must be that of her husband.” The GNT’s translation “shameless” is not supported by any of the lexicons or commentaries consulted in writing these Notes. indicates that the woman has a “stubborn” (NCV) and “rebellious” (GW) attitude. She deliberately does what her husband does not want her to do.

7:11b

her feet do not remain at home.

They do not stay at home.
Women like that do not stay near their own houses.

her feet do not remain at home: This phrase is a figure of speech (synecdoche) in which the woman’s feet represent the woman herself. It means that the woman never stays at home.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

הֹמִיָּ֣ה & לֹא־יִשְׁכְּנ֥וּ

loud & not stay

Here Solomon uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense. Alternate translation: “was a loud … did not stay”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ֝⁠בֵיתָ֗⁠הּ לֹא־יִשְׁכְּנ֥וּ רַגְלֶֽי⁠הָ

in,her_of,house not stay feet_of,her

Solomon is using one part of a person, the feet, to represent the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “she did not stay in her house”
