you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone. ² 

Amsal 12:7

12:7 The wicked are overthrown ³  and perish, ⁴ 

but the righteous household ⁵  will stand.

Yesaya 41:12

41:12 When you will look for your opponents, ⁶  you will not find them;

your enemies ⁷  will be reduced to absolutely nothing.

11:19 He will then turn his attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, not to be found again.

¹ tn Heb “and yet, a little, there will be no wicked [one].”

² tn Heb “and you will carefully look upon his place, but he will not be [there].” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer is in view.

³ sn This proverb is about the stability of the righteous in times of trouble. The term “overthrown” might allude to Gen 19:21.

⁴ tn Heb “and they are not.”

⁵ tn Heb “the house of the righteous.” The genitive צַדִּיקִים (tsadiqim) functions as an attributive adjective: “righteous house.” The noun בֵּית (bet, “house”) functions as a synecdoche of container (= house) for the contents (= family, household; perhaps household possessions). Cf. NCV “a good person’s family”; NLT “the children of the godly.”

⁶ tn Heb “the men of your struggle”; NASB “those who quarrel with you.”

⁷ tn Heb “the men of your battle”; NAB “who do battle with you.”
