NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “an abomination of the 2 tn Heb “the one who” (so NRSV). 3 sn God hates the way of the wicked, that is, their lifestyle and things they do. God loves those who pursue righteousness, the Piel verb signifying a persistent pursuit. W. G. Plaut says, “He who loves God will be moved to an active, persistent, and even dangerous search for justice” (Proverbs, 170). |
