Proverbs: Annotated & Explained is unavailable, but you can change that!

The biblical Book of Proverbs was compiled in the seventh century BCE and credited to King Solomon. In this fresh translation, Rami Shapiro unpacks the book, writing that its wisdom transcends time and place and instructs readers to live simply, without rationalizations and excuses.

2:9–13 When wisdom is embraced, righteousness, justice, and fairness are known;15 all paths are illumined and you need fear no detour.16 When wisdom enters your heart and knowledge your soul, you will perceive the order of the universe and never despair. You will be rescued from your own dark inclinations, and not even the cleverest lies will fool you.17
