8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
[AD 735] Bede on Proverbs 2:8
Keeping the paths of justice, etc. The ways of the saints, the general precepts of God; the paths of righteousness, the stricter rules of the heavenly life, which are accessible only to the perfect, it says; wisdom keeps both as to help the upright and the simple in whatever grade of virtues they stand.
