User-Posted Comments on Proverbs 1:17
Proverbs 1:17 is speaking of verse 19 explained as those who [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof. Verse 17 includes 2 words and the meaning is a horseman/master of the wings of an army or in English we would say the quartermaster of the platoon/infantry.
From H1166; a master; hence a husband, or (figuratively) owner (often used with another noun in modifications of this latter sense:— + archer, + babbler, + bird, captain, chief man, + confederate, + have to do, + dreamer, those to whom it is due, + furious, those that are given to it, great, + hairy, he that hath it, have, + horseman, husband, lord, man, + married, master, person, + sworn, they of.
From H3670; an edge or extremity; specifically (of a bird or army) a wing, (of a garment or bed clothing) a flap, (of the earth) a quarter, (of a building) a pinnacle:— + bird, border, corner, end, feather [-ed], X flying, + (one an-) other, overspreading, X quarters, skirt, X sort, uttermost part, wing ([-ed]).
