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.

6:16–19 Six things cut you off from the holy, a seventh makes even your soul a monster: an arrogant manner, a deceitful tongue, murderous thoughts, a thieving heart, feet eager to run after evil, a scheming mind, and a tendency to arouse violence in those who once lived in peace.56
