Proverbs 22:17-24

17Open your ears, and hear the words of wise people, and set your mind on the knowledge I give you.

18It is pleasant if you keep them in mind ⌞so that⌟ they will be on the tip of your tongue,

19so that your trust may be in the Lord. Today I have made them known to you, especially to you.

20Didn’t I write to you previously with advice and knowledge

21in order to teach you the words of truth so that you can give an accurate report to those who send you?

22Do not rob the poor because they are poor or trample on the rights of an oppressed person at the city gate,

23because the Lord will plead their case and will take the lives of those who rob them.

24Do not be a friend of one who has a bad temper, and never keep company with a hothead,
