Commentary on Proverbs 6:23

Theological / Devotional

The law is light. Those who regard the law as an arbitrary forbidding of desirable pleasures have an entirely perverted idea. The law is a lamp to enlighten the mind and show the way of happiness, peace, and eternal life (see Ps. 19:8 ; 119:105).
