uW Translation Notes:

[23:12](../23/12.md) is Saying 11 of the 30 “words of the wise ones.”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הָבִ֣יאָ⁠ה לַ⁠מּוּסָ֣ר לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ וְ֝⁠אָזְנֶ֗⁠ךָ לְ⁠אִמְרֵי־דָֽעַת

apply, to_the,instruction heart_of,your and,ear_of,your to,words_of knowledge

The writer is leaving out a word in the second clause that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply the word from the first clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Bring your heart to correction and bring your ear to words of knowledge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הָבִ֣יאָ⁠ה לַ⁠מּוּסָ֣ר לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ וְ֝⁠אָזְנֶ֗⁠ךָ לְ⁠אִמְרֵי־דָֽעַת

apply, to_the,instruction heart_of,your and,ear_of,your to,words_of knowledge

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Bring your heart to correction; yes, bring your ear to words of knowledge”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הָבִ֣יאָ⁠ה לַ⁠מּוּסָ֣ר לִבֶּ֑⁠ךָ

apply, to_the,instruction heart_of,your

Here, bring your heart to is an idiom that means “think carefully about.” The word heart here refers to a person’s mind, as in [2:2](../02/02.md). If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the same use of the phrase “set your heart to” in [22:17](../22/17.md). Alternate translation: “Think carefully about correction”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠מּוּסָ֣ר

to_the,instruction

See how you translated the abstract nouns correction in [3:11](../03/11.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ֝⁠אָזְנֶ֗⁠ךָ

and,ear_of,your

See how you translated the same use of ear in [22:17](../22/17.md).

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְ⁠אִמְרֵי־דָֽעַת

to,words_of knowledge

See how you translated words of knowledge in [19:27](../19/27.md).
