Commentary for Proverbs 19:27

חַֽדַל־בְּ֭נִי לִשְׁמֹ֣עַ מוּסָ֑ר לִ֝שְׁג֗וֹת מֵֽאִמְרֵי־דָֽעַת׃

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction That causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Rashi on Proverbs

My son, cease to stray, etc. This is an elliptical verse, and this is its explanation: My son, cease to stray from words of knowledge in order to hear discipline.

Rashi on Proverbs

cease to stray Heb. לשגות, like מלשגות, from straying. Likewise, (Num. 9:13): “and refrains (וחדל) from performing (לעשות) the Passover service.” Also, (Gen. 41:49): “they stopped counting (לספר).”
