SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:21–35: Fourth lesson: Be a good neighbor and do not behave like a wicked person

The father started this lesson by exhorting his son to always use sound judgment, because then he would have nothing to fear (3:21–26). He then told his son what to avoid in order to be a good neighbor. He advised him to not follow the behavior of wicked people (3:27–31). The lesson ends with a series of contrasts between the way that the LORD will treat the righteous and the wicked (3:32–35).

Another heading for this section is:

How to be a good neighbor

3:23

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

23aThen you will go on your way in safety,

23band your foot will not stumble.

3:23a

Then you will go on your way in safety,

3:23b

and your foot will not stumble.

3:23a–b

Then: This verse expresses additional results of obeying the commands in 3:21. In some languages, it may be necessary to make explicit a word such as “also” to make clear that these are additional results in a series of results.

you will go on your way in safety…your foot will not stumble: These parallel metaphors compare life to a journey in which a person’s wisdom protects him from harm. The first line refers to protection in general. The second line is more literally “strike your foot.” It refers to protection from even a minor accident, such as stubbing one’s toe against something on the path.Fox (page 163). In the second line, the phrase your foot represents the whole person. For example:

You can go safely on your way and never even stumble. (GNT)

The NCV translates the meaning of the second line without the figure of speech:

…and you will not get hurt. (NCV)

This may be an option for languages in which the figure of stumbling is understood only literally.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

אָ֤ז תֵּלֵ֣ךְ

then (Some words not found in UHB: then walk to,security way_of,your and,foot_of,your not stumble )

Then here introduces more results, stated in [verses 23](../03/23.md) and [24](../03/24.md), of obeying the commands stated in [3:21](../03/21.md). Use the most natural way in your language to indicate results. Alternate translation: [Because of having prudence and discretion, you will walk]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תֵּלֵ֣ךְ לָ⁠בֶ֣טַח דַּרְכֶּ֑⁠ךָ וְ֝⁠רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֗ לֹ֣א תִגּֽוֹף

(Some words not found in UHB: then walk to,security way_of,your and,foot_of,your not stumble )

Here Solomon speaks of living one’s life as if one were walking along a way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you will live your life in security and you will not do what is wrong]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לָ⁠בֶ֣טַח

to,security

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of security, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [confidently]
