UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

תֵּ֣ן

give

Wisdom is leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: “Give instruction” or “Give what is wise”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְ֭⁠חָכָם וְ⁠יֶחְכַּם־ע֑וֹד & לְ֝⁠צַדִּ֗יק וְ⁠י֣וֹסֶף

to,wise and,wiser again/more & to,righteous and,increase

Here, a wise one, he, and a righteous one do not refer to specific people but refer to these types of people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “to any wise one, and that person will become more wise … any righteous one, and that person will increase”
