Proverbs 22:17


Proverbs 22:16 Proverbs 22:17 (KJV) Proverbs 22:18
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches, and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want.
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
