PROVERBS 10:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Prov 10:8Prov 10:10
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
Integrity: Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. The metaphor of walking returns. Integrity (tam, wholeness without division) yields security (betach, confidence, safety). Crooked paths (yokhel orhot akishot) eventually become visible; the person is 'found out' (yivada). This suggests that while deception may hide initially, it eventually comes to light. Integrity offers the double benefit of moral consistency and eventual vindication.
