NET Notes

1 tn Heb “the scheme of folly” (NIV similar). The genitive functions as an attributive genitive, meaning “foolish scheme.” But it could also be interpreted as a genitive of source, the scheme that comes from folly (or from the fool if “folly” were metonymical).

2 tn Heb “to a man”; cf. CEV “Everyone hates senseless fools.”

2 sn This describes evil people who flout all morality and goodness; sooner or later the public will have had enough of them.
