Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

They have stricken me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick; they have beaten me, [and] I felt [it] not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. (q) Though drunkenness makes them more insensible then beasts, yet they can not refrain.

Keil & Delitzsch Lutheran @keilanddelitzsch

Pro 24:1-2 After this divergence (in Pro 23:29-35) from the usual form of the proverb, there is now a return to the tetrastich: 1 Envy not evil men, And desire not to have intercourse with them. 2 For their heart thinketh of violence, And their lips speak mischief.
