Proverbs 3

(Proverbs 3:1) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

(Proverbs 3:2) For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

(Proverbs 3:3) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

(Proverbs 3:4) So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

(Proverbs 3:5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

(Proverbs 3:6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

(Proverbs 3:7) Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

(Proverbs 3:8) It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

(Proverbs 3:9) Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

(Proverbs 3:10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

(Proverbs 3:11) My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

(Proverbs 3:12) For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

(Proverbs 3:13) Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

(Proverbs 3:14) For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

(Proverbs 3:15) She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

(Proverbs 3:16) Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

(Proverbs 3:17) Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

(Proverbs 3:18) She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

(Proverbs 3:19) The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

(Proverbs 3:20) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

(Proverbs 3:21) My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

(Proverbs 3:22) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
