Proverbs 22:28

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The first line is repeated at Proverbs 23:10. (On the sanctity of landmarks, see note on Proverbs 15:25.) Some of the stones, exhibiting a bilingual inscription, which marked the boundaries of the Levitical city of Gezer, were discovered by Gauneau in 1874.

The Septuagint calls the landmarks ὅρια αἰώνια.
