Proverbs 3

1My sonH1121, forgetH7911 notH408 my lawH8451; but letH408 thine heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandmentsH4687: 2For lengthH753 of daysH3117, and yearsH8141 of lifeH3117, and peaceH7965, shall they addH3254 to thee. 3LetH408 notH408 mercy and truthH571 forsakeH5800 thee: bindH7194 them aboutH5921 thy neckH1621; writeH3789 them uponH5921 the table of thine heartH3820: 4SoH4672 shalt thou findH4672 favour and goodH2896 understandingH7922 in the sightH5869 of GodH430 and manH120. 5TrustH982 in the LORDH3068 with allH3605 thine heartH3820, and leanH8172 notH408 uponH413 thine own understandingH998: 6In allH3605 thy waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, and he shall direct thy pathsH734. 7Be notH408 wiseH2450 in thine ownH1961 eyesH5869; fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451: 8It shall be health to thy navelH8270, and marrow to thy bonesH6106. 9Honour the LORDH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruits of allH3605 thine increaseH8393: 10So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, and thy vatsH3342 shall overflowH6555 with newH8492 wineH8492. 11My sonH1121, despiseH3988 notH408 the chasteningH4148 of the LORDH3068; neitherH408 be weary of his reproofH8433: 12For whomH834 the LORDH3068 loveth he reproveth; evenH3588 as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whomH834 he delighteth. 13HappyH835 is the manH120 that findeth wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that getteth understandingH8394. 14For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 thanH2896 the merchandiseH5504 of silverH3701, and the gainH5504 thereof thanH2896 fineH3701 goldH2742. 15SheH1931 is moreH3808 preciousH3368 thanH3808 rubies: and noneH3808 of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be compared unto herH3605. 16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in herH3117 rightH3225 had; in herH3117 leftH8040 handH3225 are richesH6239 and honour. 17HerH3605 waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness, and allH3605 herH3605 pathsH5410 are peaceH7965. 18SheH1931 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon herH8551: and happyH833 is every one that retaineth herH8551. 19The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earthH776; by understandingH8394 he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064. 20By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 were brokenH1234 upH1234, and the skiesH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919. 21My sonH1121, letH408 notH408 them departH3868 from thine eyesH5869; keepH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209; 22SoH1961 shall they be lifeH5315 unto thy soulH5315, and graceH2580 to thy neckH1621. 23Then shalt thou walkH1870 in thy wayH1870 securelyH983, and thy footH7272 shall notH3808 stumbleH5062. 24When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt notH3808 be afraidH6342: yea, thou shalt lieH7901 downH7901, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweetH6149. 25Be notH408 afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH3372, neitherH408 of the desolation of the wickedH7563, when it cometh: 26For the LORDH3068 shall be thy confidenceH3689, and shall keepH8104 thy footH7272 from beingH1961 takenH1961. 27WithholdH4513 notH408 goodH2896 from them to whom it is dueH1167, when it is in the powerH3027 of thine handH3027 to doH6213 it. 28SayH559 notH408 unto thy neighbour, GoH7725, and comeH7725 againH7725, and tomorrowH4279 I will giveH5414; when thou hast it by thee. 29Devise notH408 evilH7451 againstH5921 thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securelyH983 by thee. 30StriveH7378 notH3808 with a manH120 withoutH3808 causeH2600, ifH518 he have doneH7451 thee noH3808 harmH7451. 31EnvyH7065 thou notH408 the manH376 of violenceH2555, and chooseH977 noneH3605 of his waysH1870. 32For the perverse is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but his secretH5475 is with the uprightH3477. 33The curseH1288 of the LORDH3068 is in the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563; but he blesseth the habitation of the righteousH6662. 34SurelyH518 he scorneth the scorners, but he giveth graceH2580 unto the lowlyH6041. 35The wiseH2450 shall inheritH5157 gloryH3519; but shameH7036 shall be the promotion of foolsH3684.
