Proverbs 1:15

1:15 My child, do not go down their way,

withhold yourself from their path;


tn Heb “do not walk.”

tn Heb “in the way with them.”

tn Heb “your foot.” The term “foot” (רֶגֶל, regel) is a synecdoche of part (= your foot) for the whole person (= yourself).

sn The word “path” (נְתִיבָה, nÿtivah) like the word “way” (דֶּרֶךְ, derekh) is used as an idiom (developed from a hypocatastasis), meaning “conduct, course of life.”
