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.

8:18–20 Integrity and honor are my wealth, and great good fortune lies with me. My fruit is more precious than the finest gold; it is superior to the choicest silver. If you take up the path of compassion, I will lead you along the road of justice.74
