5:21For the ways of a person46 are in front of the Lord’s eyes,
Footnotes
- 46 Heb “man.”
- 47 Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 48 814 פָּלַס 2 suggests that the participle מְפַּלֵּס (mépalles) means “to make level [or, straight].” As one’s ways are in front of the eyes of the Lord, they become straight or right. It could be translated “weighs” since it is a denominative from the noun for “balance, scale”; the Lord weighs or examines the actions.
- 49 Heb “all his”; the referent (the person mentioned in the first half of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
