Proverbs 15:24

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

The way of life is above to the wise - There is a treble antithesis here:

  1. The way of the wise, and that of the fool.
  • The one is above, the other below.
  • 3. The one is of life, the other is of death.

    Albert Barnes
    Notes on the Whole Bible

    Above … beneath - The one path is all along upward, leading to the highest life. It rescues the “wise” from the other, which is all along downward, ending in the gloom of Sheol.
