Exegesis
The imperative verb de’eh {דְּעֶ֥ה | dəʿeh} ‘know’ takes chokhmah {חָכְמָה | ḥākhmāh} ‘wisdom’ as its direct object, and the prepositional phrase le-naphshekha {לְנַ֫פְשֶׁ֥ךָ | lə-nap̄-šē-khā} ‘for your soul’ indicates beneficiary purpose.
In context — Proverbs 24:14
So know wisdom for your soul; if you have found it, then there is a future , and your hope will not be cut off.
