Verse 11
11. Even a child is known by his doings Known as to character. Even in childhood a sagacious observer may often predict the future development. “A child,” נער , ( na’har,) a boy, a youth, shows himself, makes known his character. Miller translates the latter clause, “Is he pure? is he just also? is his work right?” that is, his work is the test of his purity.
If this be so with a child, much more with a man. The Septuagint lacks this verse, and has instead, “A youth, when in company with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, and then his way will be straight.”
