17 Pay attention, and listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my knowledge;

18 for it is pleasant to keep them deep within you; have all of them ready on your lips.

19 I want your trust to be in ADONAI; this is why I'm instructing you about them today.

20 I have written you worthwhile things full of good counsel and knowledge,

21 so you will know that these sayings are certainly true and bring back true sayings to him who sent you.
