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;10Then 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 rebuke,12For 16whom the Lord loves He disciplines, Just 17as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
1318Blessed is a person who finds wisdom, And one who obtains understanding.14For 19her 20profit is better than the profit of silver, And her produce better than gold.15She is 21more precious than 22jewels, And nothing you desire compares with her.162324Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 25riches and honor.17Her 26ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are 27peace.
