| 28. Linguistic Exegesis The verse forms a compact two-colon poetic line. The first colon fronts the verb yigel {יִ֭גֶל | yī-gel} ‘will depart’ for emphasis, then specifies the lost amount with the construct chain yevul beito {יְב֣וּל בֵּית֑וֹ | yə-vûl bêy-tô} ‘yield of his house,’ portraying the wicked man’s accumulated goods as removed from him. The second colon restates the loss through the water-image niggarot {נִ֝גָּר֗וֹת | ni-ggā-rôṯ} ‘being poured out,’ intensifying irreversible loss. The temporal phrase beyom appo {בְּי֣וֹם אַפּֽוֹ | bə-yôm ʾap-pô} ‘in the day of his anger’ sets the event within the decisive moment of divine wrath; the genitive pronoun of appo refers to God's anger, clarifying the divine source of destruction. In translation, the parallel verbs “depart” and “flow away” preserve the Hebrew pattern of sequential intensification, and the phrase “day of God’s anger” emphasizes divine judgment. |
