if you find it,24 you will have a future,25
and your hope will not be cut off.
Footnotes
- 22 D. W. Thomas argues for a meaning of “seek” in place of “know” (“Notes on Some Passages in the Book of Proverbs,” 38 [1937]: 400–403).
- 23 The phrase “is sweet” is supplied in the translation as a clarification.
- 24 The term “it” is supplied in the translation.
- 25 Heb “there will be an end.” The word is אַחֲרִית (’akhrit, “after-part, end”). 31 b says in a passage like this it means “a future,” i.e., a happy close of life, sometimes suggesting the idea of posterity promised to the righteous, often parallel to “hope.”
