Verse
Proverbs - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:
- For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.
- Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
- So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.
- Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:
- In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
- Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
- It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.
- Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:
- So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
- My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:
- For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.
- For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.
- She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
- Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
- Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
- She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
- Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
- By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
