Proverbs 3:5-17

5Trust in Adonai with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding.

6In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Adonai and turn away from evil.

8It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.

9Honor Adonai with your wealth and with the first of your entire harvest.

10Then your barns will be filled with plenty, your vats will overflow with new wine.

11My son, never despise Adonai’s discipline or dread His correction.

12For Adonai loves those He reproves, even as a father, the son in whom he delights.

13Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding.

14For her trade-value is better than silver, and her yield better than fine gold.

15She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire compares to her.

16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.

17Her ways are pleasant ways, and all of her paths are shalom.
