Proverbs 3NO HIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS 3:1 My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 3:2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 3:4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. 3:8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. 3:9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 3:10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 3:11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction; 3:12 For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. 3:13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 3:14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. 3:15 She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 3:18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her. 3:19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; 3:20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. 3:21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes - Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 3:22 So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. 3:23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble. 3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. 3:25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; 3:26 For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught. 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. 3:28 Do not say to your neighbor, ''Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,'' When you have it with you. 3:29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake. 3:30 Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. 3:31 Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; 3:32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright. 3:33 The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just. 3:34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
