NETBible

Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak.¹

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “from the words of my mouth” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV); TEV, CEV “what I say.”

¹sn The verse uses repetition for the imperative “acquire” to underscore the importance of getting wisdom; it then uses two verb forms for the one prepositional phrase to stress the warning.
