NETBible

The king shows favor¹ to a wise² servant, but his wrath falls³ on one who acts shamefully.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the favor of a king.” The noun “king” functions as a subjective genitive: “the king shows favor….”

²sn The wise servant is shown favor, while the shameful servant is shown anger. Two Hiphil participles make the contrast: מַשְׂכִּיל (maskil, “wise”) and מֵבִישׁ (mevish, “one who acts shamefully”). The wise servant is a delight and enjoys the favor of the king because he is skillful and clever. The shameful one botches his duties; his indiscretions and incapacity expose the master to criticism (W. McKane, Proverbs [OTL], 470).

³tn Heb “is” (so KJV, ASV).
