Proverbs 22:20

20 Haven't I written for you thirty sayings[a] about counsel and knowledge,

Proverbs 22:20 In-Context

18 For it is pleasing if you keep them within you and if they are constantly on your lips.
19 I have instructed you today-even you- so that your confidence may be in the Lord.
20 Haven't I written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
21 in order to teach you true and reliable words, so that you may give a dependable report to those who sent you?
22 Don't rob a poor man because he is poor, and don't crush the oppressed at the gate,
