Definitions for Proverbs 10:17
Clarke's Proverbs 10:17 Bible Commentary
He is in the way of life - The truly religious man accumulates knowledge that he may the better know how to live to God, and do most good among men.

literally, A way of life is he that keepeth instruction. The verb "erreth" is better rendered in the margin. The influence for good or evil spreads beyond the man himself.
