Proverbs 8:31

Context

8:31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth, 1 

and delighting 2  in its people. 3 

1 tn The two words are synonymous in general and so could be taken to express a superlative idea – the “whole world” (cf. NIV, NCV). But תֵּבֵל (tevel) also means the inhabited world, and so the construct may be interpreted as a partitive genitive.

2 tn Heb “and my delights” [were] with/in.”

3 tn Heb “the sons of man.”
