Proverbs 22:19-21
Evangelical Heritage Version

19 Today I make my words known to you—yes, to you,
so that your trust will be in the Lord.

20 Have I not written to you already[a] with advice and knowledge,
21 in order to make accurate, true words known to you,
so that you may reply with true words to those who sent you?

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 22:20 The translation already follows the main Hebrew reading (literally the day before yesterday). An alternate Hebrew reading is Have I not written to you excellent sayings? Many recent English translations emend the text to read: Have I not written to you thirty wise sayings? This change is based on the belief that thirty sayings follow this heading. The supposed divisions between these thirty sayings are marked by spacer lines in the translation.
