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.

8:32–36 So listen to me: Follow me and be happy. Practice my discipline and grow wise. Abandon cynicism and jaded thought. I bring joy to those who listen; I bring happiness to those who attend me. Like watchmen at their post they do not stray. They see the play of wisdom. Find me and find life. Find me and find grace. Turn your back on me and choose death.78
