Verse
Proverbs - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,
- For length of days and years, Life and peace they do add to thee.
- Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart,
- And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and man.
- Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.
- In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.
- Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.
- Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones.
- Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;
- And filled are thy barns `with' plenty, And `with' new wine thy presses break forth.
- Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,
- For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.
- O the happiness of a man `who' hath found wisdom, And of a man `who' bringeth forth understanding.
- For better `is' her merchandise Than the merchandise of silver, And than gold -- her increase.
- Precious she `is' above rubies, And all thy pleasures are not comparable to her.
- Length of days `is' in her right hand, In her left `are' wealth and honour.
- Her ways `are' ways of pleasantness, And all her paths `are' peace.
- A tree of life she `is' to those laying hold on her, And whoso is retaining her `is' happy.
- Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the heavens by understanding.
- By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop dew.
