The Thirty Wise Sayings

¹⁷ Listen, and I will teach you what the wise have said. Study their teachings, ¹⁸ and you will be glad if you remember them and can quote them. ¹⁹ I want you to put your trust in the Lord; that is why I am going to tell them to you now. ²⁰ I have written down thirty sayings for you. They contain knowledge and good advice, ²¹ and will teach you what the truth really is. Then when you are sent to find it out, you will bring back the right answer.
