Proverbs:3:1-21-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
do not forget my teaching ,
but let your heart keep my commandments ;
*
for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you .
*
Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you ;
bind them about your neck ,
write them on the tablet of your heart .
*
So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man .
*
Trust in the LORD with all your heart ,
and do not rely on your own insight .
*
In all your ways acknowledge him ,
and he will make straight your paths .
*
Be not wise in your own eyes ;
fear the LORD ,
and turn away from evil .
*
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones .
*
Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce ;
*
then your barns will be filled with plenty ,
and your vats will be bursting with wine .
*
My son ,
do not despise the LORD '
s discipline or be weary of his reproof ,
*
for the LORD reproves him whom he loves ,
as a father the son in whom he delights .
*
Happy is the man who finds wisdom ,
and the man who gets understanding ,
*
for the gain from it is better than gain from silver and its profit better than gold .
*
She is more precious than jewels ,
and nothing you desire can compare with her .
*
Long life is in her right hand ;
in her left hand are riches and honor .
*
Her ways are ways of pleasantness ,
and all her paths are peace .
*
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her ;
those who hold her fast are called happy .
*
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth ;
by understanding he established the heavens ;
*
by his knowledge the deeps broke forth ,
and the clouds drop down the dew .
*
My son ,
keep sound wisdom and discretion ;
let them not escape from your sight ,
