Proverbs 3:1-10

11My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,

2for they will provide a long and full life, and they will add well-being to you.

3Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

4Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.

5Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.

6Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

7Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self.

9Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;

10then your barns will be filled completely, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
