Synopsis
Proverbs is a book of aphorisms that King Solomon, son of King David, collected but did not write. The themes of these short pithy teachings, which embody the spice of human speech, are overcoming ignorance, practicing self-discipline, and having personal integrity. Solomon divides people into two categories: the wise and the ignorant (or foolish), and each verse reflects this dichotomy. Rami Shapiro gives us Solomon’s wisdom in fresh, lyrical, and absolutely contemporary language.

From the Back Cover
“Three-thousand-year-old wisdom refracted and made accessible through the lens of Rami Shapiro’s sensitive rendering.”
Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
“When God appeared to King Solomon in a dream and offered to grant him one wish, Solomon asked for an understanding heart. This translation of Proverbs bring the great king’s understanding into our hearts as well. Rabbi Shapiro’s translation is direct, vivid, and brimming with unexpected pleasures; a treasure house of wisdom for the new millennium.”
Philip Zaleski, editor of The Best Spiritual Writing series
