Over twenty-five years in the making, this much-anticipated commentary by eminent scholar Bruce Waltke promises to be the standard study of Proverbs for years to come. This second volume completes what is unquestionably the most comprehensive work on Proverbs available.

Grounded in the new literary criticism that has so strengthened biblical interpretation of late, Waltke's commentary on Proverbs demonstrates the profound, ongoing relevance of this Old Testament book for Christian faith and life. Waltke's highly readable style — evident even in his impeccable translation of the Hebrew text — makes his scholarly work accessible to teachers, pastors, Bible students, and general readers alike.
