Exegesis
The final imperatives—lêḵ {לֵ֥ךְ | lêḵ} ‘go’, hittārpēs {הִתְרַפֵּ֗ס | hit-tar-pêṯ} ‘humble yourself’, and ūreḥāḇ {וּרְהַ֥ב | ū-re-ḥāḇ} ‘urge persistently’—outline separation, humility, and persistent appeal. The chaining of imperatives with vav-conjunctions builds rhetorical momentum, and the shift from passive self-rescue to active persuasion reflects a comprehensive plan for restoration.
In context — Proverbs 6:3
Do this now, my son, and be delivered, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor; go, humble yourself , and plead with your neighbor.
