NET Notes

¹tn Heb “buy” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NLT); CEV “Invest in truth.”

¹sn The sixteenth saying is an instruction to buy/acquire the kind of life that pleases God and brings joy to parents. “Getting truth” would mean getting training in the truth, and getting wisdom and understanding would mean developing the perception and practical knowledge of the truth.
