Proverbs:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
forget not my law ;
but let thine heart keep my commandments :
*
For length of days ,
and long life ,
and peace ,
shall they add to thee .
*
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee :
bind them about thy neck ;
write them upon the table of thine heart :
*
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding 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 health 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 ,
despise not the chastening of the LORD ;
neither be weary of 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 getteth 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 ;
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 them that lay hold upon her :
and happy is every one that retaineth her .
*
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth ;
by understanding hath he established the heavens .
*
By his knowledge the depths are broken up ,
and the clouds 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 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 .
*
Be not afraid of sudden fear ,
neither of the desolation of the wicked ,
when it cometh .
*
For the LORD shall be thy confidence ,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken .
*
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due ,
when it is in the power of thine 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 oppressor ,
and choose none of his ways .
*
For the froward is 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 blesseth the habitation of the just .
*
Surely he scorneth the scorners :
but he giveth grace unto the lowly .
*
The wise shall inherit glory :
but shame shall be the promotion of fools .
