Exegesis
The construct pair darkav {דרכיו | da-rə-ḵāw} ‘his ways’ (plural) and darko {דַּרְכּֽוֹ | da-rək-kô} ‘his way’ (singular) highlights both general conduct and specific path. Hebrew parallelism underscores the contrast between external defiance and internal prudence.
In context — Proverbs 21:29
The wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright establishes and discerns his way.
