Proverbs 4:2

Context

4:2 Because I give 1  you good instruction, 2 

do not forsake my teaching.

Proverbs 4:6

Context

4:6 Do not forsake wisdom, 3  and she will protect you;

love her, and she will guard you.

1 tn The perfect tense has the nuance of instantaneous perfect; the sage is now calling the disciples to listen. It could also be a perfect of resolve, indicating what he is determined to do.

2 tn The word לֶקַח (leqakh, “instruction”) can be subjective (instruction acquired) or objective (the thing being taught). The latter fits best here.

3 tn Heb “her”; the 3rd person feminine singular referent is personified “wisdom,” which has been specified in the translation for clarity.
