| NET Notes |
1 sn The “days” represent what happens on those days (metonymy of subject). 2 tn The contrast is between the “afflicted” and the “good of heart” (a genitive of specification, “cheerful/healthy heart/spirit/attitude”). 2 sn The parallelism suggests that the afflicted is one afflicted within his spirit, for the proverb is promoting a healthy frame of mind. 3 tn Or “evil”; or “catastrophic.” 4 tn “one with” is supplied. 5 sn The image of a continual feast signifies the enjoyment of what life offers (cf. TEV “happy people…enjoy life”). The figure is a hypocatastasis; among its several implications are joy, fulfillment, abundance, pleasure. |
