Footnotes

  1. 87 The noun נֶפֶשׁ (traditionally “soul”; cf. , ) here means “appetite” ( 660 5.a).
  2. 88 Heb “he will lack.” The term “food” is supplied in the translation as a clarification. The wicked may go hungry, or lack all they desire, just as the first colon may mean that what the righteous acquire proves satisfying to them.
