Proverbs 3:1 My son,1121 forget7911 not my law;8451 but let thine heart3820 keep5341 my commandments:46872 For length753 of days,3117 and long8141 life,2416{Heb. years of life} and peace,7965 shall they add3254 to thee.
3 Let not mercy2617 and truth571 forsake5800 thee: bind7194 them about thy neck;1621 write3789 them upon the table3871 of thine heart:38204 So shalt thou find4672 favour2580 and good2896 understanding7922{Or, good success} in the sight5869 of God430 and man.120
Proverbs 3:5 Trust982 in the LORD3068 with all thine heart;3820 and lean8172 not unto thine own understanding.9986 In all thy ways1870 acknowledge3045 him, and he shall direct3474 thy paths.734
Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise2450 in thine own eyes:5869 fear3372 the LORD,3068 and depart5493 from evil.74518 It shall be health7500{Heb. medicine} to thy navel,8270 and marrow8250{Heb. watering, or moistening} to thy bones.6106
Proverbs 3:9 Honour3513 the LORD3068 with thy substance,1952 and with the firstfruits7225 of all thine increase:839310 So shall thy barns618 be filled4390 with plenty,7647 and thy presses3342 shall burst out6555 with new wine.8492
Proverbs 3:11 My son,1121 despise3988 not the chastening4148 of the LORD;3068 neither be weary6973 of his correction:843312 For whom the LORD3068 loveth157 he correcteth;3198 even as a father1 the son1121inwhom he delighteth.7521
Proverbs 3:13 Happy835is the man120that findeth4672 wisdom,2451 and the man120that getteth6329 understanding.8394{Heb. the man that draweth out understanding}14 For the merchandise5504 of it is better2896 than the merchandise5505 of silver,3701 and the gain8393 thereof than fine gold.274215 She is more precious3368 than rubies:6443 and all the things thou canst desire2656 are not to be compared7737 unto her.
16 Length753 of days3117is in her right hand;3225and in her left hand8040 riches6239 and honour.351917 Her ways1870are ways1870 of pleasantness,5278 and all her paths5410are peace.796518 She is a tree6086 of life2416 to them that lay hold2388 upon her: and happy833iseveryone that retaineth8551 her.
19 The LORD3068 by wisdom2451 hath founded3245 the earth;776 by understanding8394 hath he established3559{Or, prepared} the heavens.806420 By his knowledge1847 the depths8415 are broken up,1234 and the clouds7834 drop down7491 the dew.2919
Proverbs 3:21 My son,1121 let not them depart3868 from thine eyes:5869 keep5341 sound wisdom8454 and discretion:420922 So shall they be life2416 unto thy soul,5315 and grace2580 to thy neck.162123 Then shalt thou walk3212 in thy way1870 safely,983 and thy foot7272 shall not stumble.506224 When thou liest down,7901 thou shalt not be afraid:6342 yea, thou shalt lie down,7901 and thy sleep8142 shall be sweet.614925 Be not afraid3372 of sudden6597 fear,6343 neither of the desolation7722 of the wicked,7563 when it cometh.93526 For the LORD3068 shall be thy confidence,3689 and shall keep8104 thy foot7272 from being taken.3921
Proverbs 3:27 Withhold4513 not good2896 from them to whom it is due,1167{Heb. the owners thereof} when it is in the power410 of thine hand3027 to do6213it.28 Say559 not unto thy neighbour,7453 Go,3212 and come again,7725 and to morrow4279 I will give;5414 when thou hast3426 it by thee.
29 Devise2790 not evil7451{Or, practise no evil} against thy neighbour,7453 seeing he dwelleth3427 securely983 by thee.
Proverbs 3:30 Strive7378 not with a man120 without cause,2600 if he have done1580 thee no harm.7451
Proverbs 3:31 Envy7065 thou not the oppressor,3762555{Heb. a man of violence} and choose977 none of his ways.187032 For the froward3868is abomination8441 to the LORD:3068 but his secret5475is with the righteous.347733 The curse3994 of the LORD3068is in the house1004 of the wicked:7563 but he blesseth1288 the habitation5116 of the just.666234 Surely he scorneth3887 the scorners:3887 but he giveth5414 grace2580 unto the lowly.6035604135 The wise2450 shall inherit5157 glory:3519 but shame7036 shall be the promotion7311 of fools.3684{Heb. exalteth the fools}
