Footnotes
- 22 Two terms describe the subject of this proverb: “righteous” and “integrity.” The first describes the person as a member of the covenant community who strives to live according to God’s standards; the second emphasizes that his lifestyle is blameless.
- 23 Heb “walks in his integrity” (so ); cf. “leads a blameless life.” The Hitpael participle of הָלַךְ (halakh) means “to walk about; to walk to and fro.” The idiom of walking representing living is intensified here in this stem. This verbal stem is used in scripture to describe people “walking with” God.
- 24 The nature and the actions of parents have an effect on children (e.g., Exod 20:4–6); if the parents are righteous, the children will enjoy a blessing—the respect and the happiness which the parent reflects on them.
