Proverbs 3:3-22

3Do not let 1kindness and truth leave you; 2Bind them around your neck, 3Write them on the tablet of your heart.4So you will 4find favor and a 5good 6reputation In the sight of God and man.57Trust in the Lord with all your heart And 8do not lean on your own understanding.6In all your ways 9acknowledge Him, And He will 10make your paths straight.711Do not be wise in your own eyes; 12Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.8It will be 13healing to your 14body And 15refreshment to your bones.916Honor the Lord from your wealth, And from the 17first of all your produce;10Then your 18barns will be filled with plenty, And your 19vats will overflow with new wine.1120My son, do not reject the 21discipline of the Lord Or loathe His rebuke,12For 22whom the Lord loves He disciplines, Just 23as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

1324Blessed is a person who finds wisdom, And one who obtains understanding.14For 25her 26profit is better than the profit of silver, And her produce better than gold.15She is 27more precious than 28jewels, And nothing you desire compares with her.162930Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 31riches and honor.17Her 32ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are 33peace.18She is a 34tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are those who hold on to her.19The Lord founded the earth 35by wisdom, He 36established the heavens by understanding.20By His knowledge the 37ocean depths were burst open, And the 38clouds drip with dew.21My son, see that 39they do not escape from your sight; Comply with sound wisdom and discretion,22And they will be 40life to your soul And 41adornment to your neck.
