Sayings of the Wise

17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;

19 So that your trust may be in the Lord;

Of counsels and knowledge,

(B)That you may answer words of truth
To those who [a]send to you?
