“Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.”
Proverbs 9:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 9:6
Forsake foolishness and live; proceed in the way of understanding. The Hebrew 'azab' (leave/forsake) and 'ashar' (go straight/proceed) command directional change. Leaving foolishness enables proceeding in understanding. The two movements are connected - can't walk wisdom's path while carrying folly. Repentance (forsaking) precedes progress (proceeding). Life results from wise walking; death from foolish persisting.
