Proverbs 3:31

Context

3:31 Do not envy a violent man, 1 

and do not choose to imitate 2  any of his ways;

1 tn Heb “a man of violence.” The noun חָמָס (khamas, “violence”) functions as an attributive genitive. The word itself means “violence, wrong” (HALOT 329 s.v.) and refers to physical violence, social injustice, harsh treatment, wild ruthlessness, injurious words, hatred, and general rudeness (BDB 329 s.v.).

2 tn Heb “do not choose.”
