Footnotes

  1. 27 The text has “in the good [בְּטוֹב, bétov] of the righteous,” meaning when they do well, when they prosper. Cf. , “succeed”; “have good fortune.”
  2. 28 The verb תַּעֲלֹץ (ta’alots, “to rejoice; to exult”) is paralleled with the noun רִנָּה (rinnah, “ringing cry”). The descriptions are hyperbolic, except when the person who dies is one who afflicted society (e.g., 2 Kgs 11:20; Esth 8:15). D. Kidner says, “However drab the world makes out virtue to be, it appreciates the boon of it in public life” (Proverbs [], ).
