Proverbs 9:14-15

Context

9:14 So she sits at the door of her house,

on a seat at the highest point of the city,

9:15 calling out 1  to those who are passing by her 2  in the way, 3 

who go straight 4  on their way.

1 tn The infinitive construct “calling out” functions epexegetically in the sentence, explaining how the previous action was accomplished.

2 tn The term “her” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for the sake of clarity and smoothness.

3 tn The noun is a genitive of location after the construct participle. Its parallel word is also an adverbial accusative of location.

4 tn The participle modifies the participle in the first colon. To describe the passers-by in this context as those “who go straight” means that they are quiet and unwary.
