Proverbs 22:18-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
18
For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
So that they may be ready on your lips.
19
So that your trust may be in the
Lord
,
I have taught you today, you indeed.
20
Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
21
To make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
So that you may correctly answer him who sent you?
22
Do not rob the poor because he is poor,
Nor crush the needy at the gate;
23
For the
Lord
will plead their case
And take the life of those who rob them.
King James Version
Chapter 22
18
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19
That thy trust may be in the
Lord
, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22
Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23
For the
Lord
will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
18
For it is pleasing if you keep them within you
and if they are constantly on your lips.
19
I have instructed you today—even you—
so that your confidence may be in the
Lord
.
20
Haven’t I written for you thirty sayings
about counsel and knowledge,
21
in order to teach you true and reliable words,
so that you may give a dependable report
to those who sent you?
22
Don’t rob a poor person because he is poor,
and don’t crush the oppressed at the city gate,
23
for the
Lord
will champion their cause
and will plunder those who plunder them.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
18
For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart
and always ready on your lips.
19
I am teaching you today — yes, you —
so you will trust in the
Lord
.
20
I have written thirty sayings for you,
filled with advice and knowledge.
21
In this way, you may know the truth
and take an accurate report to those who sent you.
22
Don’t rob the poor just because you can,
or exploit the needy in court.
23
For the
Lord
is their defender.
He will ruin anyone who ruins them.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
18
for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
19
That your trust may be in the
Lord
,
I have made them known to you today, even to you.
20
Have I not written for you thirty sayings
of counsel and knowledge,
21
to make you know what is right and true,
that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
22
Do not rob the poor, because he is poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate,
23
for the
Lord
will plead their cause
and rob of life those who rob them.
New International Version
Chapter 22
18
for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.
19
So that your trust may be in the
Lord
,
I teach you today, even you.
20
Have I not written thirty sayings for you,
sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21
teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth,
so that you bring back truthful reports
to those you serve?
22
Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,
23
for the
Lord
will take up their case
and will exact life for life.
New King James Version
Chapter 22
18
For
it is
a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
19
So that your trust may be in the
Lord
;
I have instructed you today, even you.
20
Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,
21
That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
That you may answer words of truth
To those who send to you?
22
Do not rob the poor because he
is
poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;
23
For the
Lord
will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.
