The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way (Prov. 11:5)

The Hebrew verb, here translated "direct," can also mean "make straight, level, or even." Consequently Delitzsch renders, "The righteousness of the blameless smootheth his way"; while J. M. P. Smith prefers, "The honest man's path is kept straight by his righteousness"; and the Revised Standard Version has, "The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight."

Naughtiness (Prov. 11:6)
