Footnotes
- 32 Heb “the heart of a man.” This stresses that it is within the heart that plans are made. Only those plans that are approved by God will succeed.
- 33 Heb “his way” (so , ).
- 34 The verb כּוּן (kun, “to establish; to confirm”) with צַעַד (tsa’ad, “step”) means “to direct” (e.g., Ps 119:133; Jer 10:23). This contrasts what people plan and what actually happens—God determines the latter.
- 35 “Steps” is an implied comparison, along with “way,” to indicate the events of the plan as they work out.
