son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For
length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let
not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them
upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In
all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not
wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be
health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Honour the Lord with thy
substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy
barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new
wine. My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary
of his correction:
Happy is the man that findeth [wisdom,] and
the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better
than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She
is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are
not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in
her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and
all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold
upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
The Lord by
wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the
heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and clouds drop down
the dew.
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
So
shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt
thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Be
not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked,
when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy
foot from being taken. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy
neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast
it by thee.
Devise not evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth
securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done
thee no harm.
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his
ways. For the forward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with
the righteous.
The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just. Surely he scorneth the
scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. The wise shall inherit
glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Proverbs 3 KJV
May the Lord Bless you.
