Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
Proverbs 22:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 22.
16 Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—apply your mind to my knowledge—
18 for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
19 So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
21 to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?
22 Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
23 for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.
24 Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,
