Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
אִ֭ישׁ & בְּעֵינָ֑יו
(a)_man & in/on/at/with,eyes_of,him
Although the terms man and his are masculine, Solomon is using these words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “any person … in that person’s eyes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּעֵינָ֑יו
in/on/at/with,eyes_of,him
See how you translated the same use of eyes in [3:4](../03/04.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְתֹכֵ֖ן & יְהוָֽה
and,weighs & YHWH
Here, examines refers to judging or evaluating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “but Yahweh judges”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רוּח֣וֹת
motives
Here, spirits refers to the thoughts and motives of people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “people’s thoughts”
16:2 God’s moral evaluation is what counts (see Gen 8:21; 1 Sam 13:14; 16:6-7; Luke 16:15). This proverb is repeated almost verbatim in Prov 21:2.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
