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.

4:1–6 Listen and attend, and understanding will follow.34 You have been given a good teaching; don’t abandon it. When I was young, beloved of my parents, my father taught me: Let my words sustain your heart; practice my discipline and live. Do not forsake Wisdom, and she will protect you; love her and she will keep you safe.35
