* My son , forget not my teaching ; 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 table of thy heart ; * So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man . * Trust in the LORD 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 the LORD , and depart from evil ; * It shall be health to thy navel , and marrow to thy bones . * Honour the LORD 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 the LORD , neither spurn thou His correction ; * For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth , even as a father the son in whom he delighteth . * Happy is the man that findeth wisdom , and the man that obtaineth understanding . * For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver , and the gain thereof than fine gold . * She is more precious than rubies ; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her . * Length of days is in her right hand ; in her left hand are riches and honour . * 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 holdest her fast . * The LORD 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 . * My son , let not them depart from thine eyes ; keep sound wisdom and discretion ; * So shall they be life unto thy soul , and grace to thy neck . * Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely , and thou shalt not dash thy foot . * When thou liest down , thou shalt not be afraid ; yea , thou shalt lie down , and thy sleep shall be sweet . * Be not afraid of sudden terror , neither of the destruction of the wicked , when it cometh ; * For the LORD will be thy confidence , and will keep thy foot from being caught . * Withhold not good from him to whom it is due , when it is in the power of thy hand to do it . * Say not unto thy neighbour : 'Go , and come again , and to-morrow I will give '; when thou hast it by thee . * Devise not evil against thy neighbour , seeing he dwelleth securely by thee . * Strive not with a man without cause , if he have done thee no harm . * Envy thou not the man of violence , and choose none of his ways . * For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD ; but His counsel is with the upright . * The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked ; but He blesseth the habitation of the righteous . * If it concerneth the scorners , He scorneth them , but unto the humble He giveth grace . * The wise shall inherit honour ; but as for the fools , they carry away shame .
