Exegesis
The verse employs two parallel Hiphil imperatives—haser {הָסֵר | hā-sēr} ‘remove’ and harcheik {הַרְחֵק | har-ḥēq} ‘let be far’—creating a chiastic frame that links the singular noun peh {פֶּה | p̄e} ‘mouth’ with the dual sefatayim {שְׂפָתַיִם | sə-p̄ā-ta-yim} ‘lips.’
Root and etymology
s-w-rsamekh–waw–resh
“to remove, turn aside”
In context — Proverbs 4:24
Remove from yourself the crookedness of mouth, and let the perversion of lips be far from you.
