[6:18]  1 tn Heb “heart that devises plans of wickedness.” The latter term is an attributive genitive. The heart (metonymy of subject) represents the will; here it plots evil schemes. The heart is capable of evil schemes (Gen 6:5); the heart that does this is deceitful (Prov 12:20; 14:22).

[6:18]  2 tc The MT reads “make haste to run,” that is, be eager to seize the opportunity. The LXX omits “run,” that is, feet hastening to do evil. It must have appeared to the LXX translator that the verb was unnecessary; only one verb occurs in the other cola.

[36:4]  3 tn Heb “he takes a stand in a way [that is] not good.” The word “way” here refers metaphorically to behavior or life style.

[36:4]  4 tn The three imperfect verbal forms in v. 4 highlight the characteristic behavior of the typical evildoer.

[32:7]  5 tn Heb “as for a deceiver, his implements [or “weapons”] are evil.”

[32:7]  6 tn Or “he plans evil things”; NIV “he makes up evil schemes.”

[32:7]  7 tn Heb “to ruin the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speak what is just.”

[11:2]  8 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:1]  9 tn Heb “Woe to those who plan sin.” The Hebrew term הוֹי (hoy, “woe”; “ah”) was a cry used in mourning the dead.

[2:1]  10 tn Heb “those who do evil upon their beds.”

[2:1]  11 tn Heb “at the light of morning they do it.”
