NET © Notes

sn Righteousness refers to that which conforms to law and order. One who behaves with integrity will be safe from consequences of sin.

tn Heb “blameless of way.” The term דָּרֶךְ (darekh) is a genitive of specification: “blameless in respect to his way.” This means living above reproach in their course of life. Cf. NASB “whose way is blameless”; NAB “who walks honestly.”

sn Righteousness and wickedness are personified in this proverb to make the point of security and insecurity for the two courses of life.
