The verb זָכָה (zakah) means to make clean or pure, often with moral implications. It suggests a process of purification, emphasizing not just external cleanliness but also an internal state of righteousness. The parsing as a Piel imperfect indicates an ongoing action — a young man will actively keep his way pure.

The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating the manner of keeping, followed by a noun phrase that describes the object of the action.

The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the subject נַּ֭עַר, a youth, at the beginning, highlighting the focus on young individuals and their moral journey.

The Greek term carries connotations of achieving a goal, which complements the Hebrew notion of active purity and moral vigilance.

The Masoretic Text reads בַּמֶּ֣ה יְזַכֶּה־ נַּ֭עַר אֶת־ אָרְח֑וֹ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ׃, while the Septuagint matches 6 of the 7 words, indicating a high degree of agreement between the two texts. The slight differences in word order and structure reflect the translation choices rather than significant variations in meaning.
