Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ponder the path of thy feet,.... Consider well what path it is, whether right or wrong; or weigh it in the balances of thought, as Aben Ezra; or rather in the balances of the word, and see whether it agrees with that or not. The Septuagint version is, "make straight paths for thy feet"; to which the author of the epistle to the Hebrews seems to have respect, Hebrews 12:13;
and let all thy walls be established; so as to walk on steadily, constantly, uniformly, and not be easily moved out of the ways of religion and truth. Or, "let all thy ways be prepared", or "directed", or "disposed" c; according to the rule of the divine word. Some render it as a promise, "and all thy ways shall be established" d; when care is taken to look well into them; see 2 Chronicles 20:20.
c ××× × "dirigantur", Tigurine version, Mercerus; "recte apparentur aut disponantur", Vatablus. d "Stabilientur", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "constabilientur", Schultens.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Speech turned from its true purpose, the wandering eye that leads on to evil, action hasty and inconsiderate, are the natural results where we do not âabove all keeping keep our heartâ Proverbs 4:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 4:26. Ponder the path of thy feet — Weigh well the part thou shouldst act in life. See that thou contract no bad habits.
