10:3Is it good for you7 to oppress,8
to9 despise the work of your hands,
on the schemes of the wicked?
Footnotes
- 7 Or “Does it give you pleasure?” The expression could also mean, “Is it profitable for you?” or “Is it fitting for you?”
- 8 The construction uses כִּי (ki) with the imperfect verb—“that you oppress.” Technically, this clause serves as the subject, and “good” is the predicate adjective. In such cases one often uses an English infinitive to capture the point: “Is it good for you to oppress?” The changes the meaning considerably: “Is it good for you if I am unrighteous, for you have disowned the work of your hands.”
- 9 Heb “that you despise.”
- 10 Now, in the second half of the verse, there is a change in the structure. The conjunction on the preposition followed by the perfect verb represents a circumstantial clause.
- 11 The Hiphil of the verb יָפַע (yafa’) means “shine.” In this context the expression “you shine upon” would mean “have a glowing expression,” be radiant, or smile.
