Proverbs 22:17
“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.”
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
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.
