Proverbs 3:1 My son,1121 don't forget7911 my teaching;8451 but let your heart3820 keep5341 my commandments:46872 for length753 of days,3117 and years8141 of life,2416 and peace,7965 will they add3254 to you.
3 Don't let kindness2617 and truth571 forsake5800 you. Bind7194 them around your neck.1621 Write3789 them on the tablet3871 of your heart.38204 So you will find4672 favor,2580 and good2896 understanding7922 in the sight5869 of God430 and man.1205 Trust982 in Yahweh3068 with all your heart,3820 and don't lean8172 on your own understanding.9986 In all your ways1870 acknowledge3045 him, and he will make your paths734 straight.34747 Don't be wise2450 in your own eyes.5869 Fear3372 Yahweh,3068 and depart5493 from evil.74518 It will be health7500 to your body,8270 and nourishment8250 to your bones.61069 Honor3513 Yahweh3068 with your substance,1952 with the first fruits7225 of all your increase:839310 so your barns618 will be filled4390 with plenty,7647 and your vats3342 will overflow6555 with new wine.849211 My son,1121 don't despise3988 Yahweh's3068 discipline,4148 neither be weary6973 of his reproof:843312 for whom Yahweh3068 loves,157 he reproves;3198 even as a father1 reproves the son1121 in whom he delights.7521
Proverbs 3:13 Happy835 is the man120 who finds4672 wisdom,2451 the man120 who gets6329 understanding.839414 For her good profit5504 is better2896 than getting5505 silver,3701 and her return8393 is better than fine gold.274215 She is more precious3368 than rubies.6443 None of the things you can desire2656 are to be compared7737 to her.
16 Length753 of days3117 is in her right hand.3225 In her left hand8040 are riches6239 and honor.351917 Her ways1870 are ways1870 of pleasantness.5278 All her paths5410 are peace.796518 She is a tree6086 of life2416 to those who lay hold2388 of her. Happy833 is everyone who retains8551 her.
19 By wisdom2451 Yahweh3068 founded3245 the earth.776 By understanding,2451 he established3559 the heavens.806420 By his knowledge,1847 the depths8415 were broken up,1234 and the skies7834 drop down7491 the dew.291921 My son,1121 let them not depart3868 from your eyes.5869 Keep5341 sound wisdom8454 and discretion:845422 so they will be life2416 to your soul,5315 and grace2580 for your neck.162123 Then you shall walk3212 in your way1870 securely.983 Your foot7272 won't stumble.506224 When you lie down,7901 you will not be afraid.6342 Yes, you will lie down,7901 and your sleep8142 will be sweet.614925 Don't be afraid3372 of sudden6597 fear,6343 neither of the desolation7722 of the wicked,7563 when it comes:93526 for Yahweh3068 will be your confidence,3689 and will keep8104 your foot7272 from being taken.3921
Proverbs 3:27 Don't withhold4513 good2896 from those to whom it is due,1167 when it is in the power410 of your hand3027 to do6213 it.
28 Don't say559 to your neighbor,7453 "Go,3212 and come again;7725 tomorrow4279 I will give5414 it to you," when you have3426 it by you.
29 Don't devise2790 evil7451 against your neighbor,7453 since he dwells3427 securely983 by you.
30 Don't strive7378 with a man120 without cause,2600 if he has done1580 you no harm.745131 Don't envy7065 the man of violence.376 Choose977 none of his ways.187032 For the perverse3868 is an abomination8441 to Yahweh,3068 but his friendship5475 is with the upright.347733 Yahweh's3068 curse3994 is in the house1004 of the wicked,7563 but he blesses1288 the habitation5116 of the righteous.666234 Surely he mocks3887 the mockers,3887 but he gives5414 grace2580 to the humble.603535 The wise2450 will inherit5157 glory,3519 but shame7036 will be the promotion7311 of fools.3684
