17 Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine : Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge, Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,
18 Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips: for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day. That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to you today, even to you. So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.
20 Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge : Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge, Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21 That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee. to make you know what is right and true, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you? teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth, so that you bring back truthful reports to those you serve?
