The New International Commentary: The Book of Proverbs Chapters 15-31 has been carefully crafted for over twenty five years and is expected to set the bar in Proverbs research. Authored by the prominent Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke, this dual-volume commentary is undoubtedly the most thorough study of Proverbs available.

Waltke’s work utilizes new literary tools that have done much for Bible interpretation. He clearly shows the continuing profundity and direct bearing that Proverbs has on our daily lives. Waltke includes a detailed introduction that deals with textual issues, structure, composition, theology, and more. The commentary proper expounds and illuminates Proverbs as “theological literature” in an extremely accessible way. His own translation of the Hebrew text and sharp commentary are well suited for ministers, students, teachers, and all kinds of readers.

New International Commentary on the Old Testament - Series Editor: Robert L. Hubbard Jr.

Maneuvering through Levitical laws, bloodshed in Joshua, or Daniel's apocalyptic visions, sincere readers often wonder what the Old Testament means and how it can be the Word of God. For several decades the New International Commentary on the Old Testament has helped countless people traverse this difficult literary terrain.

All the NICOT volumes combine superior scholarship, an evangelical view of Scripture as the Word of God, and concern for the life of faith today. Each volume features an extensive introduction treating the biblical book's authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology. The author's own translation of the original Hebrew and verse-by-verse commentary follow. The commentary itself carefully balances coverage of technical matters with exposition of the biblical text's theology and implications.
