Midrash su Proverbi 15:24

5 Rabbi Berakhiah opened [his discourse] in the name of Rabbi Yirmiyah: "The path of life leads upward for an intelligent man" (Proverbs 15:24) - the path of life is nothing but Torah, as you say (Proverbs 3:18), "She is a tree of life for those who grasp her." Another interpretation of "The path of life leads upward for an intelligent man" - the path of life is nothing but afflictions, as you say (Proverbs 6:23), "and the path of life is the rebuke that disciplines." "Leads upwards for an intelligent man" - for one who looks at the commandments of the Torah. What is written above the matter? "You shall not finish the corner of your field" (Leviticus 23:22).
