EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ 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?
