22:17. Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine:
22:18. Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips:
22:19. That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day.
22:20. Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:
22:21. That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee.
22:22. Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:
22:23. Because the Lord will judge his cause: and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.
22:24. Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man:
22:25. Lest perhaps thou learn his ways, and take scandal to thy soul.
