17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise; you shall apply your heart to my teaching.
18 For it is pleasant if you guard them within you; together they will be ready upon your lips.
19 In order for your trust to be in Yahweh, I have made them known to you today—even you.
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings with admonitions and knowledge?
21 In order to show you what is right—sayings of truth— in order to return a true saying to him who sent you.
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate;
23 For Yahweh will plead their case and despoil those who despoil them of life.
