NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn The sentence uses the infinitive absolute and the imperfect from יָדַע (yada’, “to know”). The imperfect here has been given the obligatory nuance, “you must know,” and that has to be intensified with the infinitive.

²tn Heb “the faces of your flock.”

³tn The idiom is “place [it on] your heart” or “take to heart.” Cf. NLT “put your heart into.”

³sn The care of the flock must become the main focus of the will, for it is the livelihood. So v. 23 forms the main instruction of this lengthy proverb (vv. 23-27).
