22:19The righteous see their destruction36 and rejoice;
the innocent mock them scornfully,37 saying,
22:20‘Surely our enemies38 are destroyed,
and fire consumes their wealth.’
Footnotes
- 36 The line is talking about the rejoicing of the righteous when judgment falls on the wicked. An object (“destruction”) has to be supplied here to clarify this (see Pss 52:6 [8]; 69:32 [33]; 107:42).
- 37 In Ps 2:4 it was God who mocked the wicked by judging them.
- 38 The word translated “our enemies” is found only here. The word means “hostility,” but used here as a collective for those who are hostile—“enemies.” Some commentators follow the and read “possessions,” explaining its meaning and derivation in different ways. Gordis simply takes the word in the text and affirms that this is the meaning. On the other hand, to get this, E. Dhorme (Job, 336) repoints קִימָנוּ (qimanu) of the to יְקוּמַם (yéqumam), arguing that יְקוּם (yéqum) means “what exists [or has substance]” (although that is used of animals). He translates: “have not their possessions been destroyed.”
