Proverbs 4:13 meaning and explanation

Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

Proverbs 4:13, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

In this chapter a father passes on to his sons the instruction he himself received from his own father, so verse 13 comes as a direct charge from a teacher who cares about the outcome. The Hebrew word here for instruction is musar, which carries the sense of discipline or correction, not merely information.
