References for Verses in Proverbs

While studying the same verse in many translations and versions, we are afforded many different glimpses of the same general ideas. It helps us to use the Scriptures to teach themselves, and it helps us learn to see the different Hebrew words from many angles. There is no one perfect translation, so we need to educate ourselves by seeing what the different scholars and translators have to say about the verses.
