* Bow down thine ear , and hear the words of the wise , and apply thine heart unto my knowledge . * For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee ; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips . * That thy trust may be in the LORD , I have made known to thee this day , even to thee . * Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge , * That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth ; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee ? * Rob not the poor , because he is poor : neither oppress the afflicted in the gate : * For the LORD will plead their cause , and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them . * Make no friendship with an angry man ; and with a furious man thou shalt not go : * Lest thou learn his ways , and get a snare to thy soul . * Be not thou one of them that strike hands , or of them that are sureties for debts . * If thou hast nothing to pay , why should he take away thy bed from under thee ? * Remove not the ancient landmark , which thy fathers have set . * Seest thou a man diligent in his business ? he shall stand before kings ; he shall not stand before mean men .
