Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Pro 9:15

¹ tn The infinitive construct “calling out” functions epexegetically in the sentence, explaining how the previous action was accomplished.

² tn The term “her” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for the sake of clarity and smoothness.

³ tn The noun is a genitive of location after the construct participle. Its parallel word is also an adverbial accusative of location.

⁴ tn The participle modifies the participle in the first colon. To describe the passers-by in this context as those “who go straight” means that they are quiet and unwary.
