1 tn Heb “he enters peace, they rest on their beds, the one who walks straight ahead of himself.” The tomb is here viewed in a fairly positive way as a place where the dead are at peace and sleep undisturbed.
2 tn Heb “walks” (so NASB, NIV).
3 tn Or, possibly, “justly”; NAB “who practices virtue.”
4 tn Heb “[who] shakes off his hands from grabbing hold of a bribe.”
5 tn Heb “[who] shuts his ear from listening to bloodshed.”
6 tn Heb “[who] closes his eyes from seeing evil.”
