2:2 by making your ear attentive to wisdom,
and by turning your heart to understanding,
3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
3:6 Acknowledge him in all your ways,
and he will make your paths straight.
3:8 This will bring healing to your body,
and refreshment to your inner self.
3:9 Honor the Lord from your wealth
and from the first fruits of all your crops;
3:10 then your barns will be filled completely,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
4:21 Do not let them depart from your sight,
guard them within your heart;
4:24 Remove perverse speech from your mouth;
keep devious talk far from your lips.
4:26 Make the path for your feet level,
so that all your ways may be established.
5:9 lest you give your vigor to others
and your years to a cruel person,
5:10 lest strangers devour your strength,
and your labor benefit another man’s house.
5:15 Drink water from your own cistern
and running water from your own well.
5:16 Should your springs be dispersed outside,
your streams of water in the wide plazas?
5:18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in your young wife –
6:4 Permit no sleep to your eyes
or slumber to your eyelids.
6:11 and your poverty will come like a robber,
and your need like an armed man.
6:21 Bind them on your heart continually;
fasten them around your neck.
7:3 Bind them on your forearm;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
16:3 Commit your works to the Lord,
and your plans will be established.
23:12 Apply your heart to instruction
and your ears to the words of knowledge.
23:25 May your father and your mother have joy;
may she who bore you rejoice.
23:26 Give me your heart, my son,
and let your eyes observe my ways;
23:33 Your eyes will see strange things,
and your mind will speak perverse things.
24:34 and your poverty will come like a bandit,
and your need like an armed robber.”
27:2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
someone else, and not your own lips.
27:23 Pay careful attention to the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds,
31:3 Do not give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which ruins kings.
