13:7There is one who pretends to be rich22 and yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor23 and yet possesses great wealth.24
Footnotes
- 22 The Hitpael of עָשַׁר (’ashar, “to be rich”) means “to pretend to be rich” ( 799 עָשַׁר Hithp); this is the so-called “Hollywood Hitpael” function which involves “acting” or pretending to be something one is not.
- 23 The Hitpolel of רוּשׁ (rush, “to be poor”) means “to pretend to be poor” ( 930 Hithpolel); this is another example of the “Hollywood Hitpael”—the Hitpolel forms of hollow root verbs are the equivalent of Hitpael stem forms.
- 24 The proverb seems to be a general observation on certain people in life, but it is saying more. Although there are times when such pretending may not be wrong, the proverb is instructing people to be honest. An empty pretentious display or a concealing of wealth can come to no good.
