Amsal 3:10

3:10 then your barns will be filled completely, ¹ 

and your vats ²  will overflow ³  with new wine.

Amsal 3:15

3:15 She is more precious than rubies,

and none of the things ⁴  you desire ⁵  can compare ⁶  with her. ⁷ 

[3:10]  ¹ tn Heb “with plenty” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); NIV “to overflowing.” The noun שָׂבָע (sava’, “plenty; satiety”) functions as an adverbial accusative of manner or contents: “completely.”

[3:10]  ² sn This pictures the process of pressing grapes in which the upper receptacle is filled with grapes and the lower one catches the juice. The harvest of grapes will be so plentiful that the lower vat will overflow with grape juice. The pictures in v. 10 are metonymies of effect for cause (= the great harvest that God will provide when they honor him).

[3:10]  ³ tn Heb “burst open.” The verb פָּרַץ (parats, “to burst open”) functions as hyperbole here to emphasize the fullness of the wine vats (BDB 829 s.v. 9).

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “all of your desires cannot compare with her.”

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “your desires.” The 2nd person masculine singular suffix on the noun probably functions as subjective genitive.

[3:15]  ⁶ tn The imperfect tense verb יָסַד (yasad, “to establish be like; to resemble”) has a potential nuance here: “can be compared with.”

[3:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “All of your desires do not compare with her.”
