Proverbs 3:16-35

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>_:

So shall they be life
<02416>

unto thy soul
<05315>_,

and grace
<02580>

to thy neck
<01621>_.

Then shalt thou walk
<03212> (8799)

in thy way
<01870>

safely
<0983>_,

and thy foot
<07272>

shall not stumble
<05062> (8799)_.

When thou liest down
<07901> (8799)_,

thou shalt not be afraid
<06342> (8799)_:

yea, thou shalt lie down
<07901> (8804)_,

and thy sleep
<08142>

shall be sweet
<06149> (8804)_.

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of sudden
<06597>

fear
<06343>_,

neither of the desolation
<07722>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

when it cometh
<0935> (8799)_.

For the LORD
<03068>

shall be thy confidence
<03689>_,

and shall keep
<08104> (8804)

thy foot
<07272>

from being taken
<03921>_.

Withhold
<04513> (8799)

not good
<02896>

from them to whom it is due
<01167>_,

when it is in the power
<0410>

of thine hand
<03027>

to do
<06213> (8800)

[it]. {them...: Heb. the owners thereof}

Say
<0559> (8799)

not unto thy neighbour
<07453>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and come again
<07725> (8798)_,

and to morrow
<04279>

I will give
<05414> (8799)_;

when thou hast
<03426>

it by thee.

Devise
<02790> (8799)

not evil
<07451>

against thy neighbour
<07453>_,

seeing he dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

securely
<0983>

by thee. {Devise...: or, Practise no evil}

Strive
<07378> (8799)

not with a man
<0120>

without cause
<02600>_,

if he have done
<01580> (8804)

thee no harm
<07451>_.

Envy
<07065> (8762)

thou not the oppressor
<0376> <02555>_,

and choose
<0977> (8799)

none of his ways
<01870>_.

{the oppressor: Heb. a man of violence}

For the froward
<03868> (8737)

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but his secret
<05475>

[is] with the righteous
<03477>_.

The curse
<03994>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

but he blesseth
<01288> (8762)

the habitation
<05116>

of the just
<06662>_.

Surely he scorneth
<03887> (8686)

the scorners
<03887> (8801)_:

but he giveth
<05414> (8799)

grace
<02580>

unto the lowly
<06035> (8675) <06041>_.

The wise
<02450>

shall inherit
<05157> (8799)

glory
<03519>_:

but shame
<07036>

shall be the promotion
<07311> (8688)

of fools
<03684>_.

{shall be...: Heb. exalteth the fools}
