Footnotes

  1. 118 The term “however” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is implied by the contrast between the offer in 1:23 and the accusation in 1:24–25. It is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity.
  2. 119 The particle יַעַן (ya’an, “because”) introduces a causal clause which forms part of an extended protasis; the apodosis is 1:26.
  3. 120 The phrase “to listen” does not appear in the Hebrew but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity.
  4. 121 The term “because” does not appear in this line but is implied by the parallelism; it is supplied in the translation for clarity and smoothness.
  5. 122 This expression is a metonymy of adjunct; it is a gesture that goes with the appeal for some to approach.
  6. 123 Heb “and.”
  7. 124 The verb III פָּרַע means “to let go; to let alone” ( 828 ). It can refer to unkempt hair of the head (Lev 10:6) or lack of moral restraint: “to let things run free” (Exod 32:25; Prov 28:19). Here it means “to avoid, neglect” the offer of wisdom ( 829 2).
  8. 125 The verbs are characteristic perfects or indefinite pasts. For the word “comply, consent,” see 1:20.

Because I called out and you refused me,

I stretched out my hand, yet there is none who heeds.

You have ignored all my counsel,
