17InclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450,And apply thy heartH3820 unto my knowledgeH1847.18For it is a pleasantH5273 thing if thou keepH8104 them within thee,If they be establishedH3559 togetherH3162 upon thy lipsH8193.19That thy trustH4009 may beH1961 in Jehovah,I have madeH3045themknownH3045 to thee this dayH3117, evenH637 to thee.20Have not I writtenH3789 unto thee excellent thingsOf counselsH4156 and knowledgeH1847,21To makeH3045 thee knowH3045 the certainty of the wordsH561 of truthH571,That thou mayest carry backH7725 wordsH561 of truthH571 to them that sendH7971 thee?22RobH1497 not the poorH6041, because he is poorH6041;Neither oppress the afflictedH6041 in the gateH8179:23For Jehovah will plead their causeH7379,And despoil of lifeH5315 those that despoil them.24Make no friendship with a manH376 that is given to angerH639;And with a wrathful manH376 thou shalt not goH935:
