NET Notes

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn The expression לָבֶטַח (lavetakh, “in security”) precedes the verb that it qualifies – God “allows him to take root in security.” For the meaning of the verb, see Job 8:15.

³tn Heb “his eyes are on.”

⁴sn The meaning of the verse is that God may allow the wicked to rest in comfort and security, but all the time he is watching them closely with the idea of bringing judgment on them.
