Footnotes

  1. 15 The term בֵּית (bet, “house”) functions as an adverbial accusative of location.
  2. 16 The Hebrew noun חֹסֶן (khosen) means “wealth; treasure.” Prosperity is the reward for righteousness. This is true only in so far as a proverb can be carried in its application, allowing for exceptions. The Greek text for this verse has no reference for wealth, but talks about amassing righteousness.
  3. 17 Heb “will be troubled.” The function of the Niphal participle may be understood in two ways: (1) substantival use: abstract noun meaning “disturbance, calamity” ( 747 עָכַר) or passive noun meaning “thing troubled,” or (2) verbal use: “will be troubled” ( עכר nif).
