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.

8:12–17 I am Wisdom; I dwell in watchfulness; I provide insight into the way of life. The godly reject evil. I reject even the paths to evil: the paths of pride, arrogance, and a lying tongue. My words are counsel and guide; I am understanding, and in me is strength. Through me flows all justice and righteousness; from me comes discernment and leadership. I love those who love me and reveal myself fully to those who search me out.73
