Footnotes
- 33 Heb “there is no end [i.e., future] for the evil.”
- 34 The saying warns against envying the wicked; v. 19 provides the instruction, and v. 20 the motivation. The motivation is that there is no future hope for them—nothing to envy, or as C. H. Toy explains, there will be no good outcome for their lives (Proverbs [], ). They will die suddenly, as the implied comparison with the lamp being snuffed out signifies.
