9:7-9 These verses seem to create an awkward break between the invitations of Wisdom and Folly, but perhaps the purpose is to caution that, in contrast with inviting the simple (9:4), inviting mockers and the wicked is futile at best. Such people have already chosen their path and respond to Wisdom’s advice with violence. By contrast, the wise appreciate corrective advice; they welcome it and benefit from it.
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”
