# General Information:

Chapter 3 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine. Occasionally, the author addresses a proverb to "my son." This is not intended to restrict the words of that proverb to only males. Instead, it is simply a form used to pass on advice as a father does to his son. 

# do not forget my teaching
