Proverbs 13

Verse1 leaves out the verb in the first colon, and provides it in the second. It is an unexpected ellipsis.

Again these are a subtle challenge to association. It is not difficult to see a verbal relationship to Psalm 1, but the shared word count is only about 25%. Check out  פרי רשׁע דרך חטא נתן עץ תורה ידע הלך לוץ. You will find 7 of them used in Proverbs in one sequence, and in Psalm 1 in reverse sequence. 6 roots occur more than 3 times in the chapter giving it a focus on נפשׁ, the word I never translate as soul.

Below (unedited) is the list of glosses I have used (so far) for some of my words in this chapter. You could try different choices. Note also that the interpretation of ו as and, or, but, so, etc, changes the meaning of a proverb. When is the second colon additive or contrasting or consequential?
