Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) It would utterly be contemned.--Better, he would be, &c, and literally, to despise, they would despise him; infinitive absolute before finite verb expressing intensity. (Comp. 1Samuel 20:6; Amos 9:8, &c)This fine passage, with its reference to the invincible might and untempted constancy of true love, hardly leaves a doubt that the poem, while an ideal picture of the passion, is also a reminiscence of an actual history of two hearts that had been tried and proved true both against difficulties and seductions.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewMightyרַבִּ֗ים (rab·bîm)Adjective - masculine pluralStrong's 7227: Much, many, greatwatersמַ֣יִם (ma·yim)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 4325: Water, juice, urine, semencannotלֹ֤א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noquenchלְכַבּ֣וֹת (lə·ḵab·bō·wṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive constructStrong's 3518: To be quenched or extinguished, to go outlove;הָֽאַהֲבָ֔ה (hā·’a·hă·ḇāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 160: Love (noun)riversוּנְהָר֖וֹת (ū·nə·hā·rō·wṯ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5104: A stream, prosperitycannotלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nosweep it away.יִשְׁטְפ֑וּהָ (yiš·ṭə·p̄ū·hā)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural | third person feminine singularStrong's 7857: To gush, to inundate, cleanse, to gallop, conquerIfאִם־ (’im-)ConjunctionStrong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, nota manאִ֜ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personwere to giveיִתֵּ֨ן (yit·tên)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe richesה֤וֹן (hō·wn)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1952: Wealth, sufficiencyof his houseבֵּיתוֹ֙ (bê·ṯōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1004: A housefor love,בָּאַהֲבָ֔ה (bā·’a·hă·ḇāh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 160: Love (noun)it would be utterly scorned.בּ֖וֹז (bō·wz)Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 936: To disrespectJump to PreviousAble Contemned Deep Despised Drown Enough Floods Friends Great House Judged Love Offered Overcome Overflow Price Quench Riches Rivers Scorned Substance Utterly Wash Water Waters Wealth
