Footnotes
- 5 Heb “a man cannot be.”
- 6 The Niphal imperfect of כּוּן (cun, “to be established”) refers to finding permanent “security” (so , , ) before God. Only righteousness can do that.
- 7 Heb “a root of righteousness.” The genitive צַדִּיקִים (tsadiqim, “righteousness”) functions as an attributive adjective. The figure “root” (שֹׁרֶשׁ, shoresh) stresses the security of the righteous; they are firmly planted and cannot be uprooted (cf. “the godly have deep roots”). The righteous are often compared to a tree (e.g., 11:30; Ps 1:3; 92:13).
