22 The Lord gave me my tongue as a reward, and I will praise him with it.

23 Draw near to me, you who are uneducated, and lodge in the house of instruction.

24 Why do you say you are lacking in these things, and why do you endure such great thirst?

25 I opened my mouth and said, Acquire wisdom for yourselves without money.
