Proverbs 22:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
In context
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16 Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
18 for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
