1 My son, do not forget my teachings, and keep my commands in mind, 2 because they will bring you long life, good years, and peace. 3 Do not let mercy and truth leave you. Fasten them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will find favor and much success in the sight of God and humanity. 5 Trust the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths smooth. 7 Do not consider yourself wise. Fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. 8 [Then] your body will be healed, and your bones will have nourishment. Proverbs 3:1-8, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
