Exegesis
The temporal phrase be-yom nakam {בְּיוֹם נָקָם | bə-yôm nā-qām} ‘in the day of vengeance’ situates the action in a specific moment of reprisal. The translation preserves the Hebrew cause-and-effect structure by rendering ki as ‘for’ and introducing ‘therefore’, and it adapts the construct chains into clear English genitives.
In context — Proverbs 6:34
For jealousy is the wrath of a man; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance .
