Exegesis
The negation particle lō־ {לֹא־ | lō’} with the Hitpael imperfect yit‘ārav {יִתְעָ֥רַב | yit‘ārav} ‘will share’ forms a negative result clause, isolating the zār {זָֽר | zār} ‘stranger.’ The Hitpael stem implies mutual participation denied here to emphasize emotional solitude.
Root and etymology
z-rzayin–resh
“stranger, foreigner”
In context — Proverbs 14:10
The heart knows its own bitterness , and a stranger does not share in its joy.
