Proverbs 3:5-17

5Confide in Jehovah with all thy heartH3820, and leanH8172 not unto thine own intelligence;

6in all thy waysH1870 acknowledge him, and he will makeH3045 plain thy pathsH734.

7BeH1961 not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869; fearH3372 Jehovah, and departH5493 from evilH7451:

8it shall beH1961 health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bonesH6106.

9Honour 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 instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;

12for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delighteth.

13Blessed is the manH120 that findeth wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that getteth understandingH8394.

14For the gain thereof is betterH2896 than the gain of silverH3701, and her revenue than fine goldH2742.

15She is more preciousH3368 than rubies; and all the things thou canst desireH2656 are not equal unto her.

16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her rightH3225 handH3225; in her left handH3225 richesH6239 and honour.

17Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness, and all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.
