In Proverbs 11:2, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the clause that assigns wisdom to this group, set against the preceding statement that arrogance brings dishonor. The APB renders the verse, “Arrogance comes, and dishonor follows; wisdom belongs with the humble.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Proverbs 11:2, the APB presents the group as “the humble” in the clause “wisdom belongs with the humble.” This rendering confirms the verse’s contrast without isolating every feature of the Hebrew form.
