Thirty Sayings of the Wise

Saying 1

17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—

apply your mind to my knowledge—

18for it is pleasing when you keep them within you

and they are constantly on your lips.

19So that your trust may be in the LORD,

I instruct you today—yes, you.

20Have I not written for you thirty sayings

about counsel and knowledge,

21to show you true and reliable words,

that you may soundly answer those who sent you?

Saying 2

22Do not rob a poor man because he is poor,

and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,

23for the LORD will take up their case

and will plunder those who rob them.

Saying 3

24Do not make friends with an angry man,

and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,

25or you may learn his ways

and entangle yourself in a snare.

Saying 4

26Do not be one who gives pledges,

who puts up security for debts.

27If you have nothing with which to pay,

why should your bed be taken from under you?

Saying 5

28Do not move an ancient boundary stone

which your fathers have placed.

Saying 6

29Do you see a man skilled in his work?

He will be stationed in the presence of kings;

he will not stand before obscure men.
