22:28 Whatever you decide 1 on a matter,
it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
31:36 Surely 2 I would wear it proudly 3 on my shoulder,
I would bind 4 it on me like a crown;
33:15 In a dream, a night vision,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they sleep in their beds.
1 tn The word is גָּזַר (gazar, “to cut”), in the sense of deciding a matter.
2 tn The clause begins with the positive oath formula, אִם־לֹא (’im-lo’).
3 tn The word “proudly” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied (note the following line).
4 tn This verb is only found in Prov 6:21. But E. Dhorme (Job, 470) suggests that (with metathesis) we have a derivative מַעֲדַנּוֹת (ma’adannot, “bonds; ties”) in 38:31.
