NET Notes |
1 sn No joy is completely free of grief. There is a joy that is superficial and there is underlying pain that will remain after the joy is gone. 2 tn Heb “and its end, joy, is grief.” The suffix may be regarded as an Aramaism, a proleptic suffix referring to “joy.” 3 tn The phrase “may be” is not in the Hebrew but is supplied from the parallelism, which features an imperfect of possibility. |
