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.

9:10–12 Those who walk with Wisdom walk in wonder.82 Marvel at the miracle of life, and gain understanding. Stand in awe of the mystery, and enter the eternal present. Become wise and you understand who you are: you know what moves you, and you act almost without effort.83 If you scorn this path, your heart is diminished, your mind clouded, and you carry a heavy burden. Everything you do goes awry.84
