17Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,
18for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.
19So that your trust may be in the Lord , I teach you today, even you.

21teaching you true and reliable words, so that you can give sound answers to him who sent you?
