Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.

This book is an abridgement of the Expositor's Bible Commentary written in 1991. Of all the Old Testament commentaries I own this is the one I like the best and use the most often. There are lots of maps, pictures and charts which aid understanding and break up the text. The comments are well organized and work through each verse of the OT systematically. If you like this book you will also enjoy THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. This new (1999) and in-depth commentary points out numerous Biblical characters who illustrate King Solomon's witty observations on human nature. There are abundant historical drawings and photos and 6 popular translations of Proverbs in parallel. Many of the mysteries and riddles of Proverbs are explored with surprising new answers.
