Footnotes

  1. 67 The verb III פָּרַע (para’) normally means “to let go; to let alone” and here “to neglect; to avoid; to reject” ( 828 ).
  2. 68 The phrase “ends up in” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is implied by the parallelism; it is supplied in the translation for the sake of smoothness.
  3. 69 Honor and success are contrasted with poverty and shame; the key to enjoying the one and escaping the other is discipline and correction. W. McKane, Proverbs (), 456, notes that it is a difference between a man of weight (power and wealth, from the idea of “heavy” for “honor”) and the man of straw (lowly esteemed and poor).
