Proverbs:22:17-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Stretch your ear and hear the words of the wise ,
and set your heart to My knowledge ,
*
for they are pleasant when you keep them within you ;
they shall all be fixed together on your lips ,
*
So that your trust may be in Jehovah .
I caused you to know today ,
even you .
*
Have I not written to you the third time with counsels and knowledge ,
*
to cause you to know the verity of the words of truth ,
to return words of truth to those who send you ?
*
Rob not the poor because he is poor ,
and oppress not the afflicted in the gate .
*
For Jehovah will contend for their cause ,
and will plunder the soul of their plunderers .
*
Do not feed a possessor of anger ,
and do not go in with a man of fury ,
*
lest you learn his ways and take a snare for your soul .
*
Do not be one of those who strike the palm ,
those who are sureties for loans .
*
If you have nothing to repay ,
why should he take away your bed from under you ?
*
Do not move the old landmark which your fathers have set .
*
Do you see a man who is prompt in his work ?
He shall stand before kings ,
he shall not stand before obscure men .
