The best advice I can give you is to read NETS and NRSV side by side. You will then quickly see what sort of translation Greek Proverbs is. While some of the difference between the Greek (=NETS) and the MT (=NRSV) are no doubt due to a parent text at variance with MT, most are attributable to the mode of translation adopted by the Greek translator.
