1. Trust in the Lord (17-19)

The wise will teach thirty wise sayings. Among them six are here. The first one is to pay attention to his teaching and apply our heart to the word of God. It becomes a pleasure to keep them in our heart. We then should be ready to teach them with our lips too. The purpose of doing these things is that our trust may be in the Lord.

2. Five more wise sayings (20-29)

The second wisdom is, "We should not exploit the poor, for God is on their side." The third one is: we should be careful in making friends. If we associate with one easily angered, we will become like them. The fourth is: we should not be good-minded when it comes to pledging for others. The fifth is: Don't sneakily move the boundary stone, which the Lord has set up. Sixth, we should be very skillful in our works to be used greatly.
