Proverbs 3:1-10
1My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;2for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.3Never let loving devotion1 or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.4Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart,and lean not on your own understanding;6in all your ways acknowledge Him,and He will make your paths straight.7Be not wise in your own eyes;fear the LORD and turn away from evil.8This will bring healing to your body2and refreshment3 to your bones.
9Honor the LORD with your wealthand with the firstfruits of all your crops;10then your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will overflow with new wine.
