The embodiment of God's wisdom for everyday living, the Book of Proverbs has been quoted by Jews, Christians, and Muslims for centuries. These maxims, born out of personal experience, are passed on from father to son, from teacher to student. They warn of manifold dangers to avoid, point out simple truths to be remembered. Anyone who follows these adages will evince a maturity beyond his years. Waltke, who has been researching the text for over 25 years, is fully abreast of the most recent archaeological, literary, and textual discoveries. His commentary is filled with penetrating details for scholars, yet it is his unpedantic style which will appeal to pastors and general readers. This mammoth study, one of the most comprehensive on the market, will retrieve from relative obscurity the wealth of Israel's ethical treasure.

Bruce K. Waltke is professor emeritus of biblical studies at Regent College, British Columbia, and professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Oviedo, Florida. He has written Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion?, co-written An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, co-edited The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, and served on the translation committees for the NIV and TNIV.
