NETBible

The dice are thrown into the lap,¹ but their every decision² is from the Lord.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the lot is cast.” Because the ancient practice of “casting lots” is unfamiliar to many modern readers, the imagery has been updated to “throwing dice.”

¹sn The proverb concerns the practice of seeking divine leading through casting lots. For a similar lesson, see Amenemope (18, 19:16-17, in ANET 423).

²tn Heb “all its decision.”

³sn The point concerns seeking God’s will through the practice. The Lord gives guidance in decisions that are submitted to him.
