Proverbs 22:17-21
17
Sayings of the Wise
Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise;
apply your heart to what I teach,
18
for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.
19
So that your trust may be in the Lord,
I teach you today, even you.
20
Have I not written thirty sayings for you,
sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21
teaching you true and reliable words,
so that you can give sound answers
to him who sent you?
