Proverbs 3:1-10

1My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart.

2If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying.

3Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.

4Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

5Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

6Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

7Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

9Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.

10Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
