Proverbs 3:1-10

1My son, forget not my teaching, and let thy heart observe my commandments;

2for length of days, and years of life, and peace shall they add to thee.

3Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

4and thou shalt find favour and good understanding in the sight of 1God and man.

5Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence;

6in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

7Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

8it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones.

9Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;

10so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
