Proverbs 3:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:17
Wisdom's ways are pleasant and peaceful. The Hebrew 'noam' (pleasant/sweet) and 'shalom' (peace) describe experiential quality of walking in wisdom. This isn't mere moralism ('obedience is hard but necessary') but eudaimonism ('obedience produces flourishing'). God's commands aren't burdensome (1 John 5:3); His paths lead to joy. This challenges both legalistic religion (joyless rule-keeping) and antinomian license (pursuing pleasure apart from obedience). True pleasure is found in God's ways.
