Proverbs 5:11-12

Context

5:11 And at the end of your life 1  you will groan 2 

when your flesh and your body are wasted away. 3 

5:12 And you will say, “How I hated discipline!

My heart spurned reproof!

1 tn Heb “at your end.”

2 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).

3 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.”
