Incline your ear and hear my words,
18for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
19So that your trust may be in the Lord,
20Have I not written for you thirty sayings
21to show you what is right and true,
23for the Lord pleads their cause
24Make no friends with those given to anger,
25or you may learn their ways
26Do not be one of those who give pledges,
27If you have nothing with which to pay,
28Do not remove the ancient landmark
29Do you see those who are skillful in their work?
2and put a knife to your throat
3Do not desire the rulers
4Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
5When your eyes light upon it, it is gone;
6Do not eat the bread of the stingy;
7for like a hair in the throat, so are they.
8You will vomit up the little you have eaten,
9Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
10Do not remove an ancient landmark
11for their redeemer is strong;
