Verse
Proverbs - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
- For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
- Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;
- So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.
- Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.
- In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
- Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:
- This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.
- Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
- So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.
- My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:
- For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.
- Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.
- For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.
- She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.
- Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.
- Her ways are ways of delight, and all her goings are peace.
- She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.
- The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.
- By his knowledge the deep was parted, and dew came dropping from the skies.
