Verse
Proverbs - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:
- for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.
- Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
- So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
- Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding.
- In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
- Don't be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
- It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
- Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:
- so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
- My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of his reproof:
- for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
- Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
- For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
- She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
- Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
- Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
- She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
- By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
- By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
