Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 37. - Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace. This translation is much disputed. Most ancients and many moderns render the first line, "Keep innocency, and observe uprightness," while some critics maintain that acharith in the second line must mean "posterity," and not "end." Others, again, join shalom to ish, and render, "There shall be posterity (or, a future) to the man of peace." However, the rendering of the Authorized Version is retained by our Revisers, and accepted in part by Hengstenberg and Dr. Kay, while it has the complete approval of Canon Cook.

Ellicott's Commentary

The parallelism decides in favour of this.Mark the honest man, and behold the upright;For a posterity (shall be) to the man of peace:But transgressors are altogether destroyed,The posterity of the wicked is destroyed.So the LXX. and Vulg. . . .
