10:19When words abound, transgression is inevitable,70
Footnotes
- 70 Heb “does not cease.” It is impossible to avoid sinning in an abundance of words—sooner or later one is bound to say something wrong.
- 71 Or “holds his lips under control.” The verb חָשַׂךְ (khasakh) means “to withhold; to restrain; to hold in check” ( 362 ). The related Arabic term is used in reference to placing a piece of wood in the mouth of a goat to prevent it from sucking ( חשׂךְ).
- 72 Heb “his lips” (so , , ); “his tongue.” The term “lips” is a metonymy of cause for speech.
