about translation Habakuk 2:4

Dear Felix,

`uplah is a pual participle meaning something like "one
swollen."  Here I take it to refer to one swollen with
pride.  The syntax is abrupt, and I think hinneh `uplah
stands outside the rest of the clause.  "Behold (the)
swollen one! His soul is not right in him."

Shalom,
Bryan
