Sayings of the Wise
17 The words of the wise:
Incline your ear and hear my words[a]
and apply your mind to my teaching,
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in the Lord,
I have made them known to you today, yes, to you.(A)
20 Have I not written for you thirty[b] sayings
of admonition and knowledge,(B)
21 to show you what is right and true,
so that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?(C)
