Proverbs 3:5-17

5Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding;

6in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.

7Don’t be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8This will be healing for your body and strengthening for your bones.

9Honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest;

10then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

11Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son, and do not loathe his discipline;

12for the Lord disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

13Happy is a man who finds wisdom and who acquires understanding,

14for she is more profitable than silver, and her revenue is better than gold.

15She is more precious than jewels; nothing you desire can equal her.

16Long life is in her right hand; in her left, riches and honor.

17Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths, peaceful.
