Proverbs 3:5-17
51Trust in the Lord with all your heart And 2do not lean on your own understanding.6In all your ways 3acknowledge Him, And He will 4make your paths straight.75Do not be wise in your own eyes; 6Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.8It will be 7healing to your 8body And 9refreshment to your bones.910Honor the Lord from your wealth And from the 11first of all your produce;10So your 12barns will be filled with plenty And your 13vats will overflow with new wine.1114My son, do not reject the 15discipline of the Lord Or loathe His reproof,12For 16whom the Lord loves He reproves, Even 17as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
1318How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.14For her 19profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.15She is 20more precious than 21jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her.162223Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 24riches and honor.17Her 25ways are pleasant ways And all her paths are 26peace.
