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.

7:6–8 I have looked through the lattice of the heart and seen the ways of undisciplined desire. The simple and the young are easy prey, for they lack self-control. Yet do not imagine that they are innocent, for evil cannot enter without our consent.63 Even young people must approach the threshold of desire before evil can push them through the door.
