NETBible

All the days¹ of the afflicted² are bad,³ but one with⁴ a cheerful heart has a continual feast.⁵

NET Notes

¹sn The “days” represent what happens on those days (metonymy of subject).

²tn The contrast is between the “afflicted” and the “good of heart” (a genitive of specification, “cheerful/healthy heart/spirit/attitude”).

²sn The parallelism suggests that the afflicted is one afflicted within his spirit, for the proverb is promoting a healthy frame of mind.

³tn Or “evil”; or “catastrophic.”

⁴tn “one with” is supplied.

⁵sn 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.
