Footnotes
- 20 Or “innocent.” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and the typical godly individual are in view.
- 21 Heb “and gnashes at him with his teeth” (see Ps 35:16). The language may picture the evil men as wild animals. The active participles in v. 12 are used for purposes of dramatic description.
- 22 Heb “laughs.” As the next line indicates, this refers to derisive laughter (see 2:4). The Hebrew imperfect verbal form describes the action from the perspective of an eye-witness who is watching the divine response as it unfolds before his eyes.
- 23 Heb “for he sees that his day is coming.” As the following context makes clear (vv. 15, 17, 19–20), “his day” refers to the time when God will destroy evildoers.
