Proverbs 3:1-10 ▼

1 My son, do not forget my teaching, take to heart my commands;

2 For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you.

3 Do not let love and fidelity forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Then will you win favor and esteem before God and human beings.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely;

6 In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and turn away from evil;

8 This will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.

9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with first fruits of all your produce;

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