Proverbs 8:20 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

I lead in the way of righteousness - Hebrew, 'I cause (my adherents) to walk in the way of righteousness:' not only to perceive the things which are righteous, but also to fulfill them. 'Let us therefore examine ourselves what is our feeling toward righteousness, whether we prefer her to riches' (T. Cartwright).

In the midst of the paths of judgment - in the right mean between the extremes on both sides, so as not to turn off either to the right hand or to the left (Proverbs 4:27).
