NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “innocent.” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and the typical godly individual are in view. 2 tn Heb “and gnashes at him with his teeth” (see Ps 35:16). The language may picture the evil men as wild animals. The active participles in v. 12 are used for purposes of dramatic description. |
