Proverbs 4:4

Context

4:4 he taught me, and he said to me:

“Let your heart lay hold of my words;

keep my commands so that 1  you will live.

Proverbs 4:13

Context

4:13 Hold on to instruction, 2  do not let it go;

protect it, 3  because it is your life.

1 tn The imperative with the vav expresses volitional sequence after the preceding imperative: “keep and then you will live,” meaning “keep so that you may live.”

2 tn Heb “discipline.”

3 tn The form נִצְּרֶהָ (nitsÿreha, from נָצַר, natsar) has an anomalous doubled letter (see GKC 73 §20.h).
