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.

22:17–21 Concentrate on the words of the wise, and establish your heart in truth. Repeating the words of the wise will protect you from wrong.2 Trust in God, even if you feel unworthy. I will now tell you the path you should follow. Here I will give you in writing the thirty principles of knowledge that you need. I have written down the elements of truth so that you will be able to teach other seekers. -1-
