So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you—a declaration of the ultimate purpose of wisdom instruction: to establish trust in God. The teacher frames his instruction as serving a purpose beyond mere information; wisdom leads to faith. The phrase 'even you' (af atah) may suggest that the student is especially needful of this direction. The theological significance involves the principle that wisdom teaching is fundamentally about forming faith in God.
