Proverbs 23:12

Context

23:12 Apply 1  your heart to instruction

and your ears to the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 23:26

Context

23:26 Give me your heart, my son, 2 

and let your eyes observe my ways;

2 tn Heb “my son”; the reference to a “son” is retained in the translation here because in the following lines the advice is to avoid women who are prostitutes.
