“The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.”
Proverbs 15:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 15:24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. Orach chayyim lema'alah lemaskil (אֹרַח חַיִּים לְמַעְלָה לְמַשְׂכִּיל, the path of life upward for the wise). The wise walk an upward path toward life. Lema'an sur mishe'ol matah (לְמַעַן סוּר מִשְּׁאוֹל מָטָּה, in order to turn from Sheol below). This upward path's purpose: avoiding She'ol (שְׁאוֹל, grave, realm of death) below. The imagery is spatial but theological—the wise pursue life heavenward, escaping downward death. Jesus is the way upward (John 14:6), and believers are raised with Him (Colossians 3:1-2).
