* My son , forget not my law , but let thine heart keep my commandments : * For they shall add length of days and long life and peace unto thee . * Let not mercy and truth forsake thee ; bind them about thy neck ; write them upon the tablet of thine heart : * So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man . * Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding . * In all thy ways acknowledge him , and he shall direct thy paths . * Be not wise in thine own eyes ; fear the LORD and depart from evil . * It shall be medicine to thy navel and marrow to thy bones . * Honour the LORD with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase : * So shall thy barns be filled with plenty , and thy presses shall burst out with new wine . * My son , do not despise the chastening of the LORD ; neither be weary of his correction : * For the LORD chastens whom he loves and delights in , even as a father to his son . * Blessed [is ] the man [that ] has found wisdom and who brings [to light ] intelligence , * for the merchandise of it [is ] better than the merchandise of silver and the fruits thereof more than fine gold . * She [is ] more precious than precious stones , and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her . * Length of days [is ] in her right hand [and ] in her left hand riches and honour . * Her ways [are ] ways of pleasantness , and all her paths [are ] peace . * She [is a ] tree of life to those that lay hold upon her , and blessed [is every one ] that retains her . * The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth ; by intelligence has he established the heavens . * By his knowledge the depths are broken up , and the heavens drop down the dew . * My son , do not let 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 safely , and thy foot shall not stumble . * When thou liest down , thou shalt not be afraid : [yea ], thou shalt lie down , and thy sleep shall be sweet . * Thou shall not be afraid of sudden fear , neither of the desolation of the wicked when it comes . * For the LORD shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken . * Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due , when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it ]. * Do not say unto thy neighbour , Go and come again and tomorrow I will give when thou hast it by thee . * Do not devise evil against thy neighbour , seeing he dwells securely by thee . * Do not sue a man without cause , if he has done thee no harm . * Envy thou not the oppressor and choose none of his ways . * For the perverse [is an ] abomination to the LORD ; but his secret [is ] with the righteous . * The curse of the LORD [is ] in the house of the wicked , but he shall bless the habitation of the just . * Surely he scorns the scorners ; but he gives grace unto the humble . * The wise shall inherit glory ; but shame shall be the promotion of fools .:
