I understand that the Aionian Bible republishes public domain and Creative Commons Bible texts and that volunteers may be needed to present the original text accurately. I also understand that apocryphal text is removed and most variant verse numbering is mapped to the English standard. I have entered my corrections under the verse(s) below. Proposed corrections to the Translation for Translators, Proverbs Chapter 7 https://www.AionianBible.org/Bibles/English---Trans-Trans/Proverbs/7 1) My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure. 2) Obey my commands, and [as a result you will] live [a good life]. Consider the things that I teach you [to be very precious]; guard them, [just] like you protect your eyes. 3) Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET]. 4) [Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family. 5) If you are wise and if you understand what is wise [PRS], you will not [sleep with] an immoral woman; you will not listen to a woman who tries to entice you [to sleep with her] by what she says. 6) One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside. 7) I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish. 8) He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house 9) at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU]. 10) Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her. 11) She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home. 12) She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man. 13) [When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said, 14) “I have [some meat that is left over from] a sacrifice that I made today [to maintain fellowship with Yahweh]; I have fulfilled/done what I promised him that I would do. 15) And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you! 16) I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt. 17) I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon. 18) Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love. 19) My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey. 20) He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.” 21) [So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk. 22) [And] he went with her immediately, like an ox that was going to where it would be slaughtered, or like a deer (OR, a fool) that is stepping into a noose/trap, 23) where it will remain/stay until someone shoots an arrow into its liver [and kills it]. [He was] like a bird that flew into a trap. He did not know that (it would cost him his life/he would die as a result). 24) My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words. 25) Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes. 26) She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed. 27) The road to her house is the road to the grave. Those who enter her bedroom [PRS] will die as a result. (Sheol h7585) Additional comments?
