Proverbs 3:5-17

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

6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

7Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

8It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

9Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

10then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

11My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof,

12for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

13Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,

14for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.

15She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

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

17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
