Commentary on Proverbs 5:7
Children must hear and not depart from parental wisdom. The Hebrew 'shama' (hear/obey) and 'suwr' (depart/turn aside) demand both initial attention and continued adherence. This verse emphasizes receptivity to instruction - hearing isn't merely auditory reception but obedient response. Wisdom requires both receiving and retaining, both hearing and heeding.
