Proverbs 3:1-10

1My son, 1do not forget my 2teaching, But have your heart 3comply with my commandments;2For 4length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you.3Do not let 5kindness and truth leave you; 6Bind them around your neck, 7Write them on the tablet of your heart.4So you will 8find favor and a 9good 10reputation In the sight of God and man.5 11Trust in the Lord with all your heart And 12do not lean on your own understanding.6In all your ways 13acknowledge Him, And He will 14make your paths straight.7 15Do not be wise in your own eyes; 16Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.8It will be 17healing to your 18body And 19refreshment to your bones.9 20Honor the Lord from your wealth, And from the 21first of all your produce;10Then your 22barns will be filled with plenty, And your 23vats will overflow with new wine.
