Proverbs 3:1-10 ▼

1 My son, forget not my teaching; But let thy heart keep my commandments;

2 For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.

3 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee; Bind them about thy neck, write them upon the table of thy heart;

4 So shalt thou find grace and good favour In the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear the LORD, and depart from evil;

8 It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase;

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
