# General Information:
In this verse the pronouns "he" and "him" refer to the godless person, who represents godless people in general. It may be helpful to readers to use the plural pronouns "they" and "their." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-genericnoun]])
# He leans on his house, but it will not support him; he takes hold of it, but it does not stand
This statement probably refers to a man relying on his property and wealth for security. If so, then "house" here represents the owner's property and wealth. Alternate translation: "He thinks he will be safe because he is wealthy, but he will not be safe" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"He thinks he will be safe because he is wealthy, but he will not be safe".
# it will not support him
This negative statement emphasizes the opposite. It can be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "he will fall down" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes]])
"he will fall down"
# it does not stand
This negative statement emphasizes the opposite. It can be stated in positive form. Alternate translation: "it will fall down" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes]])
"it will fall down"
