Proverbs 22:17-24

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: they shall be togetherH3162 fitted on thy lipsH8193.

19That thy confidenceH4009 may beH1961 in Jehovah, I have madeH3045 [them] knownH3045 to thee this dayH3117, evenH637 to thee.

20Have not I writtenH3789 to thee excellent things, in counselsH4156 and knowledgeH1847,

21that I might makeH3045 thee knowH3045 the certainty of the wordsH561 of truthH571; that thou mightest 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 the soulH5315 of those that despoil them.

24Make no friendship with an angry manH376, and goH935 not with a furious manH376;
