Proverbs 3:5-17
5TrustH982 in YhwhH3068 with all thine heartH3820; and leanH8172 not unto thine own understandingH998. 6In all thy waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, and he shall directH3474 thy pathsH734.
7Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 YhwhH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451. 8It shall be healthH7500 to thy navelH8270, and marrowH8250 to thy bonesH6106.12 9HonourH3513 YhwhH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393: 10So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, and thy pressesH3342 shall burst outH6555 with new wineH8492.
11My sonH1121, despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of YhwhH3068; neither be wearyH6973 of his correctionH8433: 12For whom YhwhH3068 lovethH157 he correctethH3198; even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delightethH7521.
13HappyH835 is the manH120 that findethH4672 wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that gettethH6329 understandingH8394.3 14For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the merchandiseH5505 of silverH3701, and the gainH8393 thereof than fine goldH2742. 15She is more preciousH3368 than rubiesH6443: and all the things thou canst desireH2656 are not to be comparedH7737 unto her. 16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her right handH3225; and in her left handH8040 richesH6239 and honourH3519. 17Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantnessH5278, and all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.
