Proverbs 22:17-21

New King James Version

¹⁷ Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your heart to my knowledge;
¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
¹⁹ So that your trust may be in the Lord;
I have instructed you today, even you.
²⁰ Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
^21 (A)That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
^(B)That you may answer words of truth
To those who ^[a]send to you?
