| (0.35) | (Isa 66:15) | 1 sn Chariots are like a windstorm in their swift movement and in the way that they kick up dust. |
| (0.35) | (Isa 59:8) | 1 tn Heb “a way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in their pathways.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 45:11) | 3 tn Heb “Ask me.” The rhetorical command sarcastically expresses the Lord’s disgust with those who question his ways. |
| (0.35) | (Isa 42:24) | 2 tn Heb “they were not willing in his ways to walk, and they did not listen to his law.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 30:11) | 1 sn The imagery refers to the way or path of truth, as revealed by God to the prophet. |

| (0.35) | (Pro 16:9) | 4 sn “Steps” is an implied comparison, along with “way,” to indicate the events of the plan as they work out. |
| (0.35) | (Pro 12:28) | 1 tc The MT has דֶרֶך נְתִיבָה (derekh netivah) “a way, a path.” The duplication of meaning is awkward. If the first word is repointed as a Qal participle (דֹּרֵך, dorekh) it could be understood as “treading a path [that leads to…].” The editors of BHS propose that the second word be emended to מְשׁוּבָה (meshuvah, “[way of] apostacy”) or תּוֹעֵבָה (toʿevah, “[way of] abomination”). The LXX reads “the ways of the revengeful [lead] to death.” |

| (0.35) | (Psa 51:13) | 2 tn Heb “your ways.” The word “merciful” is added for clarification. God’s “ways” are sometimes his commands, but in this context, where the teaching of God’s ways motivates repentance (see the next line), it is more likely that God’s merciful and compassionate way of dealing with sinners is in view. Thanksgiving songs praising God for his deliverance typically focus on these divine attributes (see Pss 34, 41, 116, 138). |

| (0.35) | (Job 31:18) | 2 tn The expression “from my mother’s womb” is obviously hyperbolic. It is a way of saying “all his life.” |
| (0.35) | (Job 27:15) | 2 tc The LXX has “their widows” to match the plural, and most commentators harmonize in the same way. |
