“Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:”
Proverbs 3:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:3
Mercy and truth bound upon the heart and neck recall the Shema's command to bind God's word on hands and foreheads (Deuteronomy 6:8). These twin virtues reflect God's covenant character—His steadfast love (hesed) and faithfulness. They must be internalized (heart) and displayed publicly (neck), showing authentic faith works outward from inward transformation.
