Footnotes

  1. 69 Heb “a man of anger.” Here “anger” is an attributive (“an angry man”). This expression describes one given to or characterized by anger, not merely temporarily angry. The same is true of the next description.
  2. 70 Heb “possessor of wrath.” Here “wrath” is an attributive (cf. “a wrathful man”; “a furious man”).
  3. 71 Heb “an abundance of transgression.” The phrase means “abounding in transgression” ( 913 רַב 1.d]). Not only does the angry person stir up dissension, but he also frequently causes sin in himself and in others (e.g., 14:17, 29; 15:18; 16:32; 22:24).
