17 Bow down thine ozen, and hear the devarim of chachamim, and apply thine lev (mind, heart) unto my da'as.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou be shomer over them within thee; they shall therewith abide ready upon thy sfatayim (lips).
19 That thy trust may be in Hashem, I have made thee know this yom, even thee!
20 Have not I written to thee shloshim (thirty sayings) in mo'etzot (counsels) and da'as,
21 That I might make thee know the certain truth of the words of emes; that thou mightest bring back words of emes to them that send thee?
22 Exploit not the dal (poor), because he is dal (poor); neither oppress the oni (afflicted) in the sha'ar,
