General Information:
Chapter 2 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine. A father teaches his child using poetry. 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 the idea used to pass on advice as a father does to his son.
if you receive my words
"if you listen to what I am teaching you"
treasure up my commandments with you
"consider my commands to be as valuable as a treasure"
