Footnotes
*Vayamot libo* (וַיָּמָת לִבּוֹ) — his heart died within him — almost certainly describes a stroke or acute cardiac event triggered by shock. *Ke-aven* (כָּאֶבֶן) — like a stone — intensifies this with grim finality. The fool who hardened his heart against YHWH's anointed now finds his own heart turned to stone. FOG renders the Hebrew metaphors literally for their raw force; FOG Message uses his heart failed for physiological clarity, letting stone carry the weight of finality.
