Proverbs 3

1My son, forget not my law;

But let thine heart keep my commandments:

2For length of days, and long life,

And peace, shall they add to thee.

3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:

Bind them about thy neck;

Write them upon the table of thine heart:

4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding

In the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;

And lean not unto thine own understanding.

6In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he shall direct thy paths.

7Be not wise in thine own eyes:

Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8It shall be health to thy navel,

And marrow to thy bones.

9Honour the LORD with thy substance,

And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
