Proverbs 13:15

15. Good understanding Intelligence accompanied with kindness; kindly wisdom.

Way of transgressors Their conduct; frequently denoted as “a way.”

Is hard Difficult, rough, perhaps hard to bear; Zockler renders: “desolate.” The primary idea of the word seems to be that of perpetuity, as an ever-trodden way, hence hard and desolate, destitute of verdure, etc. This word, rendered hard, has been a hard word for the critics.
