Proverbs 3:1-4
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.
Notes
- 1. Proverbs 3:1 The chapter begins with an introductory exhortation (1-4), followed by an admonition to be faithful to the Lord (5-12). Wisdom is commended as the most valuable possession (13-18), essential to creation (19-20), and the way to a long and safe life (21-26). There then follows a warning to avoid unneighborliness (27-30) and emulating the wicked (31-35). ↩
