Commentary on Proverbs 4:15
Avoid evil's path entirely - don't go, don't pass, turn away, pass on. Four imperatives emphasize complete avoidance. The Hebrew verbs create urgency: 'bo' (come not into it), 'abar' (go not), 'satar' (avoid it), 'abar' (pass away). This isn't passive resistance but active evasion. Wisdom requires decisively turning from evil, not flirting with it or minimizing proximity. Complete separation is necessary.
