Proverbs 2:9

2:9 judgment (h-7) 'Just judgment' or 'justice.' path. (i-12) The word is difficult to render. It is properly 'a path going round,' and hence used for the 'entrenchment' of a war camp, as 'wagon-defence' in 1 Samuel 17:20 . It is applied, as in Psalms 17:5 ; Psalms 23:3 , to God's path for the saint, which does not always lead where we expect, or so that we can see straight on in it; and also to the shifting ways of the wicked, as ver. 18; and so in ver. 15, where the plural is rendered collectively 'course.'
