but the one who behaves perversely34 will be found out.
Footnotes
- 31 Heb “he who walks.” The idiom is used widely in both OT and NT for conduct, behavior, or lifestyle.
- 32 “Integrity” here means “blameless” in conduct. Security follows integrity, because the lifestyle is blameless. The righteous is certain of the course to be followed and does not fear retribution from man or God.
- 33 Heb “walks.”
- 34 Heb “he who perverts his ways” (so ); “who takes crooked paths” ( similar). The Piel participle מְעַקֵּשׁ (mé’aqqesh) means “make crooked; twisted; perverse.” It is stronger than simply taking crooked paths; it refers to perverting the ways. The one who is devious will not get away with it.
