Footnotes

  1. 17 This proverb is about the stability of the righteous in times of trouble. The term “overthrown” might allude to Gen 19:21.
  2. 18 Heb “and they are not.”
  3. 19 Heb “the house of the righteous.” The genitive צַדִּיקִים (tsadiqim) functions as an attributive adjective: “righteous house.” The noun בֵּית (bet, “house”) functions as a synecdoche of container (= house) for the contents (= family, household; perhaps household possessions). Cf. “a good person’s family”; “the children of the godly.”
