Exegesis
The negative particle lō {לֹא | lō} negates the Qal imperfect yāsûr {יָסוּר | yāsûr} ‘he turns away’, while mimmennâh {מִמֶּנָּה | mimmennâh} ‘from it’ refers back to darko. This structure contrasts the initial command with a lasting promise, highlighting the proverb’s emphasis on enduring impact.
In context — Proverbs 22:6
Dedicate a youth according to his way ; even when he grows old, he will not depart from it.
