NET Notes

¹tn Heb “path of your foot.”

²sn The verb is a denominative Piel from the word פֶּלֶס (peles), “balance; scale.” In addition to telling the disciple to keep focused on a righteous life, the sage tells him to keep his path level, which is figurative for living the righteous life.

³tn The vav prefixed to the beginning of this dependent clause denotes purpose/result following the preceding imperative.

⁴tn The Niphal jussive from כּוּן (cun, “to be fixed; to be established; to be steadfast”) continues the idiom of walking and ways for the moral sense in life.
