Proverbs 3:1-8 ▼

1 My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

2 for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.

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

4 So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.

6 In all your ways acknowledge 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 It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.
