17. Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.
18. For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall all be fitted on your lips.
19. That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to you this day, even to you.
20. Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21. That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?
22. Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23. For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
