PROVERBS 3:1-10

¹My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

²For length of days, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

³Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

⁴So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding:

⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

⁷Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the LORD, and depart from evil:

⁸It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

⁹Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

¹⁰So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
