TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּרְכֵי

ways

See how you translated the same use of ways in 3:6.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֭ישׁ & בְּ⁠עֵינָ֑י⁠ו

(a)_man & in/on/at/with,eyes,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,him

See how you translated the same use of eyes in 3:4.

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”
