# General Information:
The writer speaks as a father teaching his child using poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
Chapter 3 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine. Occasionally, the author addresses a proverb to "my son." This is not intended to restrict the words of that proverb to only males. Instead, it is simply a form used to pass on advice as a father does to his son.
# do not forget my teaching
The word "teaching" can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "do not forget what I have taught you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
"do not forget what I have taught you"
# keep my commandments in your heart
This phrase says in positive terms what the previous phrase says in negative terms. Here the word "heart" represents the mind. The word "commandments" can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "always remember what I have commanded you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
"always remember what I have commanded you"
