Proverbs 10:29

Context

10:29 The way of the Lord 1  is like 2  a stronghold for the upright, 3 

but it is destruction 4  to evildoers. 5 

1 sn The “way of the Lord” is an idiom for God’s providential administration of life; it is what the Lord does (“way” being a hypocatastasis).

2 tn The comparative “like” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is implied by the metaphor; it is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity.

3 tn Heb “for the one with integrity” (לַתֹּם, latom).

4 tn Or “ruin” (so NIV).

5 tn Heb “those who practice iniquity.”
