The LORD makes the path straight
Wisdom is presented as covenant-shaped trust: remember teaching, bind mercy and truth to the heart, trust the LORD rather than autonomous understanding, honor him with substance, and receive his correction as a beloved child. The chapter joins ordinary decisions, worship, wealth, health, and discipline under one governing posture of dependence on God.
The rare Greek verb behind “rightly dividing” (orthotomeō) occurs in the Septuagint of Proverbs 3:6 for making paths straight, illuminating the image of straight handling in 2 Timothy 2:15.
