17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And set your heart on my knowledge;
18 For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
That they may be established on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in Yahweh,
I have made you know today, even you.
20 Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
21 To make you know the veracity of the words of truth
That you may respond with the words of truth to him who sent you?
