Proverbs 22:17-21

The Thirty Sayings of The Wise (Prv 22:17 - 24:22).

Prologue (v.17-21)
v.17-18 Pay attention. The student is instructed to hear the instructions of the wise and apply them to his heart. The result will be pleasant if he keeps them within himself and ready on his lips.
v.19 Trust in the Lord. One purpose of the sayings is that the student (even you) trust in the Lord God.
v.20-21 Counsel and knowledge. Another purpose of the 30 sayings (filled with advice and knowledge) is so that the student (or you) will know what is right and true and be able to give an answer to those who sent him (i.e., those who seek advice).
