Footnotes
- 8 Heb “the folly of a man.”
- 9 The verb סָלַף (salaf) normally means “to twist; to pervert; to overturn,” but in this context it means “to subvert” ( 701 ); cf. “subverteth.” J. H. Greenstone comments: “Man’s own failures are the result of his own folly and should not be attributed to God” (Proverbs, 201).
- 10 The clause begins with vav on the nonverb phrase “against the Lord.” While clause structure and word order is less compelling in a book like Proverbs, this fits well as a circumstantial clause indicating concession.
- 11 The “heart raging” is a metonymy of cause (or adjunct); it represents the emotions that will lead to blaming God for the frustration. Genesis 42:28 offers a calmer illustration of this as the brothers ask what God was doing to them.
