Commentary on Proverbs 16:17

Theological / Devotional

The highway. The way of the righteous is lifted up above the world with its temptations, which lure into sinful paths that end in ruin. He who is concerned to bring himself into harmony with the plan of God will carefully consider the path he treads, to be sure that his feet have not strayed (see Prov. 4:26; 15:19; 2 Tim. 2:19).
