Exegesis

The initial command aseh {עֲשֵׂ֨ה | ʿa-sê} ‘do’ linked with the demonstrative zot {זֹ֥את | zōʾāṯ} and inferential particle ʾepōʾ {אֵפ֪וֹא | ʾê-pōʾ} heightens immediacy.

In contextProverbs 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.
