Proverbs 3:5-17
5TrustH982 in Jehovah with all thy heartH3820,And leanH8172 not upon thine own understandingH998:6In all thy waysH1870 acknowledge him,And he will direct thy pathsH734.7BeH1961 not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869;FearH3372 Jehovah, and departH5493 from evilH7451:8It will beH1961 health to thy navel,And marrow to thy bonesH6106.9HonorH3513 Jehovah with thy substance,And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:10So shall thy barns be filledH4390 with plentyH7647,And thy vats shall overflow with newH8492 wineH8492.11My sonH1121, despise not the chasteningH4148 of Jehovah;Neither be weary of his reproof:12For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth,Even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delighteth.13Happy is the manH120 that findeth wisdomH2451,And the manH120 that getteth understandingH8394.14For the gaining of it is betterH2896 than the gaining of silverH3701,And the profitH5504 thereof than fine goldH2742.15She is more preciousH3368 than rubies:And none of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be compared unto her.16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her rightH3225 handH3225;In her left handH3225 are richesH6239 and honorH3519.17Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness,And all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.
