Amsal 12:2

12:2 A good person obtains favor from the Lord,

but the Lord ¹  condemns a person with wicked schemes. ² 

[12:2]  ¹ tn Heb “but he condemns”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:2]  ² tn Heb “a man of wicked plans.” The noun מְזִמּוֹת (mÿzimmot, “evil plans”) functions as an attributive genitive: “an evil-scheming man.” Cf. NASB “a man who devises evil”; NAB “the schemer.”
