I will repeat the laws we have heard from you.
Those who do what is right give good advice. Their decisions are always fair.
Children, come and listen to me; I will teach you to respect the Lord.
We cannot be quiet. We must tell people about what we have seen and heard.”
You snakes! You are so evil. How can you say anything good? What people say with their mouths comes from what fills their hearts.
Let my voice sing about your word, because all your commands are good.
I will discuss your rules with kings, and no one will embarrass me.
I will live and not die, and I will tell what the Lord has done.
I tell you all this secretly, but I want you to tell it publicly. Whatever I tell you privately, you should shout for everyone to hear.
Always remember these commands that I give you today.
Be sure to teach them to your children. Talk about these commands when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up.
I always remembered his laws. I never rejected his rules.
Remember to live wisely, and what you learn will keep your lips from saying the wrong thing.
