Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Catatan Studi
Study Note
The promise 'he will make straight your paths' (or 'direct your paths') is the divine response to acknowledging God in all one's ways. The Hebrew 'yashar' (straight/right) contrasts with the 'crooked paths' of the wicked elsewhere in Proverbs, connoting both moral integrity and practical success. 'In all your ways acknowledge him' is unusually comprehensive — not merely in religious activities but in vocational decisions, relationships, and daily choices. The verse has been read through both a wisdom-retribution lens (obedience leads to observable life order) and a more eschatological lens (God ultimately rights what is wrong).
