37:21Evil men borrow, but do not repay their debt,
but the godly show compassion and are generous.37
Footnotes
- 37 Heb “an evil [man] borrows and does not repay; but a godly [man] is gracious and gives.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and godly individual are in view. The three active participles and one imperfect (“repay”) draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the two types.
