Proverbs 24:31

24:31 I saw ¹  that thorns had grown up all over it,

the ground ²  was covered with weeds,

and its stone wall was broken down.

[24:31]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh, traditionally “and, lo” [KJV, ASV]) is a deictic particle that calls attention to what comes next. “And look” is too abrupt here; “I saw” calls attention to the field that was noticed.

[24:31]  ² tn Heb “its face” (so KJV, ASV).
