This volume completes Bible scholar Michael V. Fox's comprehensive
commentary on the book of Proverbs. As in his previous volume on
the early chapters of Proverbs, the author here translates and
explains in accessible language the meaning and literary qualities
of the sayings and poems that comprise the final chapters. He gives
special attention to comparable sayings in other wisdom books,
particularly from Egypt, and makes extensive use of medieval Hebrew
commentaries, which have received scant attention in previous
Proverb commentaries. In separate sections set in smaller type, the
author addresses technical issues of text and language for
interested scholars. The author's essays at the end of the
commentary view the book of Proverbs in its entirety and
investigate its ideas of wisdom, ethics, revelation, and knowledge.
Out of Proverbs' great variety of sayings from different times, Fox
shows, there emerges a unified vision of life, its obligations, and
its potentials.
