Footnotes
- 92 Heb “a wicked man.”
- 93 Heb “he hardens his face.” To make the face firm or hard means to show boldness ( 738 עָזַז Hiph); cf. “put on a bold face.”
- 94 The “upright” is an independent nominative absolute; the pronoun becomes the formal (emphatic) subject of the verb.
- 95 The Kethib is the imperfect of כּוּן (kun), “he establishes.” This reading has the support of the , Latin, and , and is followed by . The Qere is the imperfect tense of בִּין (bin), “he understands; he discerns.” It has the support of the and is followed by , , , . The difficulty is that both make good sense in the passage and both have support. The contrast is between the wicked who shows a bold face (reflecting a hardened heart) and the upright who either gives thought to his ways (or solidifies his ways). The sense of the Qere may form a slightly better contrast, one between the outer appearance of boldness and the inner discernment of action.
