Proverbs 4:22

4:22 for they are life to those who find them

and healing to one’s entire body.

Proverbs 5:11

5:11 And at the end of your life you will groan

when your flesh and your body are wasted away.


tn Heb “to all of his flesh.”

tn Heb “at your end.”

tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav consecutive; it is equal to a specific future within this context.

sn The verb means “to growl, groan.” It refers to a lion when it devours its prey, and to a sufferer in pain or remorse (e.g., Ezek 24:23).

tn Heb “in the finishing of your flesh and your body.” The construction uses the Qal infinitive construct of כָּלָה (calah) in a temporal clause; the verb means “be complete, at an end, finished, spent.”
