NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “treasures of wickedness” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “Ill-gotten gains”; TEV “Wealth that you get by dishonesty.” 2 sn The term “righteousness” here means honesty (cf. TEV). Wealth has limited value even if gained honestly; but honesty delivers from mortal danger. 3 tn Heb “death.” This could refer to literal death, but it is probably figurative here for mortal danger or ruin. |
