Proverbs 3

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>_:
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}
