Proverbs 10:17 - Exposition

He is in the way of life ( Proverbs 5:6 ). It is a way of life when a man keepeth instruction, taketh to heart what is taught by daily providences and the wisdom of experience. Such teachableness leads to happiness here and hereafter. Erreth ( Jeremiah 42:20 ); not "causeth to err," as in the margin, which weakens the antithesis. Septuagint, "Instruction ( παιδεία ) guardeth the ways of life, but he who is unaffected by instruction goeth astray" (comp. Hebrews 12:7 , etc.).
