Proverbs 3:11-35

111My sonH1121, do not rejectH3988 the 2disciplineH4148 of the LordH3068 Or loatheH6973 His rebukeH8433,12For 3whomH834 the LordH3068 lovesH157 He disciplinesH3198, Just 4as a fatherH1 disciplines the sonH1121 in whom he delightsH7521.

135BlessedH835 is a personH120 who findsH4672 wisdomH2451, And oneH120 who obtainsH6329 understandingH8394.14For 6her 7profitH5504 is betterH2896 thanH4480 the profitH5504 of silverH3701, And her produceH8393 better thanH4480 goldH2742.15She is 8moreH4480 preciousH3368 thanH4480 9jewelsH6443, And nothingH3605H3808 you desireH2656 comparesH7737 with her.161011LongH753 lifeH3117 is in her rightH3225 handH3225; In her leftH8040 handH8040 are 12richesH6239 and honorH3519.17Her 13waysH1870 are pleasantH5278 waysH1870, And allH3605 her pathsH5410 are 14peaceH7965.18She is a 15treeH6086 of lifeH2425 to those who takeH2388 holdH2388 of her, And happyH833 are those who holdH8551 on to her.19The LordH3068 foundedH3245 the earthH776 16by wisdomH2451, He 17establishedH3559 the heavensH8064 by understandingH8394.20By His knowledgeH1847 the 18oceanH8415 depthsH8415 were burstH1234 openH1234, And the 19cloudsH7834 dripH7491 with dewH2919.21My sonH1121, see that 20they do not escapeH3868 from your sightH5869; ComplyH5341 withH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209,22And they will be 21lifeH2425 to your soulH5315 And 22adornmentH2580 to your neckH1621.23ThenH227 you will 23walkH1980 in your wayH1870 securelyH983, And your footH7272 will not 24stumbleH5062.24WhenH518 you 25lieH7901 downH7901, you will not beH6342 afraidH6342; When you lieH7901 downH7901, your sleepH8142 will be sweetH6149.2526Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 dangerH6343, NorH408 of 27troubleH7724 from the wickedH7563 whenH3588 it comesH935;26For the LordH3068 will be 28your confidenceH3689, And will 29keepH8104 your footH7272 from being caughtH3921.

2730Do not withholdH4513 goodH2896 from 31thoseH1167 toH1167 whomH1167 it isH1167 dueH1167, When it is in your powerH410 to doH6213 it.2832Do not sayH559 to your neighborH7453, “GoH1980, and comeH7725 backH7725, And tomorrowH4279 I will giveH5414 it to you,” When you haveH3426 it with you.2933Do not deviseH2790 harmH7463 againstH5921 your neighborH7453, While he livesH3427 securelyH983 besideH854 you.3034Do not contendH7378 with a personH120 forH2600 noH2600 reasonH2600, IfH518 he has doneH1580 you noH3808 harmH7463.3135Do not envyH7065 a violentH2555 personH376, And do not chooseH977 anyH3605 of his waysH1870.32For the 36deviousH3868 are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068; But 37He is 38intimateH5475 with the uprightH3477.33The 39curseH3994 of the LordH3068 is on the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563, But He 40blessesH1288 the homeH5116 of the righteousH6662.34ThoughH518 41He scoffsH3917 at the scoffersH3917, Yet 42He givesH5414 graceH2580 to the needyH6035.3543The wiseH2450 will inheritH5157 honorH3519, But foolsH3684 44increaseH7311 dishonorH7036.
