Proverbs 4:27 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 4:27
Don't turn right or left; remove your foot from evil. The Hebrew 'natah' (turn aside) and 'suwr' (remove/depart) command straight forward progression in righteousness. Wandering right or left leads away from God's path. This verse demands focused directness - not exploring alternative routes but steadily pursuing the right way. Moral clarity requires resisting distractions, however appealing they may seem.
