17 Her ways are pleasant to follow,
and all her paths lead to peace.

by his understanding he established the heavens.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 3:19 The author has a lofty idea of the knowledge of life proposed to humans. Is it not the reflection of the thought that presides in the very projects of God (see Prov 8:22-31) and about which Job (chs. 38–40) never ceased being astounded?
