Proverbs 1:3
and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
BSB
ASV
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;
KJV
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
Wisdom - Not the same word as in Pro 1:2; better, perhaps, thoughtfulness. Justice - Rather, righteousness. The word in the Hebrew includes the ideas of truth and beneficence as well as “justice.” Judgment - The teaching of the Proverbs is to lead us to pass a right sentence upon human actions, whether our own or another’s. Equity - In the Hebrew (see the margin) the plural is used, and expresses the many varying forms and phases of the one pervading principle.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
