“Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise.Apply your heart to my teaching.”
Proverbs 22:17 (WEB)
Context Reading
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child;the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich,both come to poverty. 17Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise.Apply your heart to my teaching. 18For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you,if all of them are ready on your lips. 19I teach you today, even you,so that your trust may be in Yahweh.
