Proverbs 4:22
For they are life to those who find them, and health to the whole body.
BSB
ASV
For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.
KJV
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
We could not live without it; we may by faith live upon it. They are health to all their flesh, to the whole man, both body and soul; they help to keep both in good plight. They are health to all flesh, so the LXX.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
