Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Isa 32:13) | 2 tn Heb “indeed, over all the houses of joy.” It is not certain if this refers to individual homes or to places where parties and celebrations were held. |
| (0.30) | (Isa 24:14) | 1 sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 29:24) | 2 tn Heb “hates his soul.” The accomplice is working against himself, for he will be punished along with the thief if he is caught. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 26:23) | 2 tn The word translated “fervent” actually means “burning, glowing”; the LXX has “flattering lips” (as if from חָלַק [khalaq] rather than דָּלַק [dalaq]). |
| (0.30) | (Pro 22:18) | 4 sn If the teachings are preserved in the heart/mind of the disciple, then that individual will always be ready to speak what was retained. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 21:27) | 2 sn This rhetorical device shows that if the act is abomination, the wicked heart is an even greater sin. It argues from the lesser to the greater. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 19:19) | 2 tn The second colon of the verse is very difficult, and there have been many proposals as to its meaning: (1) “If you save [your enemy], you will add [good to yourself]”; (2) “If you save [your son by chastening], you may continue [chastisement and so educate him]”; (3) “If you deliver [him by paying the fine for him once], you will have to do it again”; (4) “If you save [him this time], you will have to increase [the punishment later on].” All interpretations have to supply a considerable amount of material (indicated by brackets). Many English versions are similar to (3). |
| (0.30) | (Pro 15:32) | 1 sn To “despise oneself” means to reject oneself as if there was little value. The one who ignores discipline is not interested in improving himself. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 11:22) | 3 sn By means of the parallelism, one who rejects discretion is like a swine. If that person has beauty, its value is wasted on and overshadowed by their “piggishness.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 10:2) | 2 sn The term “righteousness” here means honesty (cf. TEV). Wealth has limited value even if gained honestly, but honesty delivers from mortal danger. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 9:12) | 2 tn The word “if” does not appear in the Hebrew but is understood from the first half of the line through the convention of ellipsis and double duty. |

| (0.30) | (Psa 94:23) | 1 tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive is used in a rhetorical sense, describing an anticipated development as if it were already reality. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 68:26) | 1 tn Heb “from the fountain of Israel,” which makes little, if any, sense here. The translation assumes an emendation to בְּמִקְרָאֵי (bemiqraʾe, “in the assemblies of [Israel]”). |
