- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13But the hypocrites in heart - חנפי chanphey, the profligates, the impious, those who have neither the form nor the power of godliness.

Umbreit translates, "nourish their wrath against God," instead of "crying" unto Him. This suits well the parallelism and the Hebrew. But the English Version gives a good parallelism, "hypocrites" answering to "cry not" (Job 27:8, 10)…Read the comment
