Proverbs 22:17-24

17Bow downH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450, and applyH7896 thine heartH3820 unto my knowledgeH1847.

18For it is a pleasant thingH5273 if thou keepH8104 them withinH990 thee; they shall withalH3162 be fittedH3559 in thy lipsH8193.1

19That thy trustH4009 may be in YhwhH3068, I have made knownH3045 to thee this dayH3117, even to thee.2

20Have not I writtenH3789 to theeH8032 excellent thingsH7991 in counselsH4156 and knowledgeH1847,

21That I might make thee knowH3045 the certaintyH7189 of the wordsH561 of truthH571; that thou mightest answerH7725 the wordsH561 of truthH571 to them that sendH7971 unto thee?3

22RobH1497 not the poorH1800, because he is poorH1800: neither oppressH1792 the afflictedH6041 in the gateH8179:

23For YhwhH3068 will pleadH7378 their causeH7379, and spoilH6906 the soulH5315 of those that spoiledH6906 them.

24Make no friendshipH7462 with an angryH639 manH1167; and with a furiousH2534 manH376 thou shalt not goH935:
