Proverbs 3:1-21

My son
<01121>_,
forget
<07911> (8799)
not my law
<08451>_;
but let thine heart
<03820>
keep
<05341> (8799)
my commandments
<04687>_:
For length
<0753>
of days
<03117>_,
and long
<08141>
life
<02416>_,
and peace
<07965>_,
shall they add
<03254> (8686)
to thee. {long...: Heb. years of life}
Let not mercy
<02617>
and truth
<0571>
forsake
<05800> (8799)
thee: bind
<07194> (8798)
them about thy neck
<01621>_;
write
<03789> (8798)
them upon the table
<03871>
of thine heart
<03820>_:
So shalt thou find
<04672> (8798)
favour
<02580>
and good
<02896>
understanding
<07922>
in the sight
<05869>
of God
<0430>
and man
<0120>_.
{good...: or, good success}
Trust
<0982> (8798)
in the LORD
<03068>
with all thine heart
<03820>_;
and lean
<08172> (8735)
not unto thine own understanding
<0998>_.
In all thy ways
<01870>
acknowledge
<03045> (8798)
him, and he shall direct
<03474> (8762)
thy paths
<0734>_.
Be not wise
<02450>
in thine own eyes
<05869>_:
fear
<03372> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and depart
<05493> (8798)
from evil
<07451>_.
It shall be health
<07500>
to thy navel
<08270>_,
and marrow
<08250>
to thy bones
<06106>_.
{health: Heb. medicine} {marrow: Heb. watering, or, moistening}
Honour
<03513> (8761)
the LORD
<03068>
with thy substance
<01952>_,
and with the firstfruits
<07225>
of all thine increase
<08393>_:
So shall thy barns
<0618>
be filled
<04390> (8735)
with plenty
<07647>_,
and thy presses
<03342>
shall burst out
<06555> (8799)
with new wine
<08492>_.
My son
<01121>_,
despise
<03988> (8799)
not the chastening
<04148>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
neither be weary
<06973> (8799)
of his correction
<08433>_:
For whom the LORD
<03068>
loveth
<0157> (8799)
he correcteth
<03198> (8686)_;
even as a father
<01>
the son
<01121>
[in whom] he delighteth
<07521> (8799)_.
Happy
<0835>
[is] the man
<0120>
[that] findeth
<04672> (8804)
wisdom
<02451>_,
and the man
<0120>
[that] getteth
<06329> (8686)
understanding
<08394>_.
{that getteth...: Heb. that draweth out understanding}
For the merchandise
<05504>
of it [is] better
<02896>
than the merchandise
<05505>
of silver
<03701>_,
and the gain
<08393>
thereof than fine gold
<02742>_.
She [is] more precious
<03368>
than rubies
<06443>_:
and all the things thou canst desire
<02656>
are not to be compared
<07737> (8799)
unto her.
Length
<0753>
of days
<03117>
[is] in her right hand
<03225>_;
[and] in her left hand
<08040>
riches
<06239>
and honour
<03519>_.
Her ways
<01870>
[are] ways
<01870>
of pleasantness
<05278>_,
and all her paths
<05410>
[are] peace
<07965>_.
She [is] a tree
<06086>
of life
<02416>
to them that lay hold
<02388> (8688)
upon her: and happy
<0833> (8794)
[is every one] that retaineth
<08551> (8802)
her.
The LORD
<03068>
by wisdom
<02451>
hath founded
<03245> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_;
by understanding
<08394>
hath he established
<03559> (8790)
the heavens
<08064>_.
{established: or, prepared}
By his knowledge
<01847>
the depths
<08415>
are broken up
<01234> (8738)_,
and the clouds
<07834>
drop down
<07491> (8799)
the dew
<02919>_.
My son
<01121>_,
let not them depart
<03868> (8799)
from thine eyes
<05869>_:
keep
<05341> (8798)
sound wisdom
<08454>
and discretion
<04209>_:
