Proverbs 12:2

12:2 A good person obtains favor from the Lord,

but the Lord 1  condemns a person with wicked schemes. 2 

1 tn Heb “but he condemns”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “a man of wicked plans.” The noun מְזִמּוֹת (mÿzimmot, “evil plans”) functions as an attributive genitive: “an evil-scheming man.” Cf. NASB “a man who devises evil”; NAB “the schemer.”
