Proverbs 22:17-22

¹⁸For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, If they be established together upon thy lips.

¹⁹That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.

²²Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
