that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
Proverbs 5:2, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The father continues his opening appeal to his son, and this verse names the purpose of listening: discretion and knowledge are to be kept, not merely acquired. The Hebrew word here for discretion carries the sense of good judgment or wise planning, and the lips that preserve knowledge are lips that guard what has been learned and speak it faithfully.
