Proverbs 22:17-21

17 Bow down thine ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my wisdom.

18 For it is a delightful thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall be ordered together in thy lips.

19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.

20 Have I not written unto thee three times in counsels and knowledge,

21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to those that send unto thee?
