Proverbs 6:34

Context

6:34 for jealousy kindles 1  a husband’s 2  rage,

and he will not show mercy 3  when he takes revenge.

1 tn The word “kindles” was supplied in the translation; both “rage” and “jealousy” have meanings connected to heat.

2 tn Heb “a man’s.”

3 tn The verb חָמַל (khamal) means “to show mercy; to show compassion; to show pity,” usually with the outcome of sparing or delivering someone. The idea here is that the husband will not spare the guilty man any of the punishment (cf. NRSV “he shows no restraint”).
