17 (A)Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And set your heart on my knowledge;
18 For it will be (B)pleasant if you keep them within you,
[a]That they may be established on your lips.
19 So that your (C)trust may be in Yahweh,
I have made you know today, even you.

Of counsels and knowledge,
21 To make you (E)know the veracity of the words of truth
That you may [c](F)respond with the words of truth to him who sent you?
