# General Information:

Verse 17 begins the introduction to a new section. The exact identity of the "Wise Men" is unknown.
|
|
|
|
# Incline your ear and listen
|
|
|
|
"Pay attention and listen" or "Listen attentively". See Proverbs 4:20.
|
|
|
|
# the words of the wise
|
|
|
|
"what wise people say"
|
|
|
|
# apply your heart to
|
|
|
|
"do your best to understand and remember"
|
|
|
|
# my knowledge
|
|
|
|
"the knowledge I have, which I am sharing with you" or "what I know". The person speaking is probably the same as the father from Proverbs 1:8. He may be speaking of "the words of the wise" as "my knowledge." |
