(Proverbs 22:17-18):Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thine heart to my doctrine; For it is pleasant if thou keep them in thy belly, that they may be established together upon thy lips (Amenemope, ch. 1):Give thine ear, and hear what I say, And apply thine heart to apprehend; It is good for thee to place them in thine heart, let them rest in the casket of thy belly; That they may act as a peg upon thy tongue (Proverbs 22:22):Rob not the poor, for he is poor, neither oppress (or crush) the lowly in the gate. (Amenemope, ch. 2):Beware of robbing the poor, and oppressing the afflicted. (Proverbs 22:24-5): Do not befriend the man of anger, Nor go with a wrathful man, Lest thou learn his ways and take a snare for thy soul. (Amenemope, ch. 10): Associate not with a passionate man, Nor approach him for conversation; Leap not to cleave to such an one; That terror carry thee not away. (Proverbs 22:29):[if you] You see a man quick in his work, before kings will he stand, before cravens, he will not stand. (Amenemope, ch. 30):A scribe who is skillful in his business findeth worthy to be a courtier (Proverbs 23:1):When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently what is before thee; And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties, for they are breads of falsehood. (Amenemope, ch. 23): Eat not bread in the presence of a ruler, And lunge not forward(?) with thy mouth before a governor(?). When thou art replenished with that to which thou has no right, It is only a delight to thy spittle. Look upon the dish that is before thee, And let that (alone) supply thy need. (Proverbs 23:4-5):Toil not to become rich, And cease from dishonest gain; For wealth maketh to itself wings, Like an eagle that flieth heavenwards (Amenemope, ch. 7):Toil not after riches; If stolen goods are brought to thee, they remain not over night with thee. They have made themselves wings like geese. And have flown into the heavens.

(Amenemope, ch. 6): Remove not the landmark from the bounds of the field...and violate not the widows boundary (Proverbs 23:12):Apply thine heart unto instruction and thine ears to the words of knowledge (Amenemope, ch. 1):Give thine ears, hear the words that are said, give thine heart to interpret them.
