Proverbs 23:19 - Exposition

Hear thou. The pronoun gives force and personality to the injunction ( Job 33:33 ). Guide thine heart in the way. (For אשׁר , "to guide straight," see on Proverbs 4:14 ) "The way" is the right way, in distinction to the many wrong paths of life—the way of understanding, as it is called ( Proverbs 9:6 ). Septuagint, "Direct aright the thoughts of thy heart," for right thoughts lead to right actions.
