I have loved Proverbs since I was in High School. Have not always hit the mark, but at least I knew there was a mark. My favorite (this really speaks to young men):
"Your spring water is for you and you only,
Not to be passed around among strangers.
Bless your fresh-flowing fountain!
Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!
. . . Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore?
for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?" (Prov. 5:17-20)
This could be expounded upon and enlarged in so many ways, and I think that is exactly what Jesus did.
That straight and narrow path does indeed have a light unto our feet and a lamp unto our path, His name is Wonderful, Councilor, Almighty God and The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The naming conventions used on that wide and broad highway seem infinite, but as duly noted, are all contained within the righteous, holy and immutable Word of God.
