Proverbs 3:1-13

¹My sonne, forget not thou my Lawe, but let thine heart keepe my commandements.

²For they shall increase the length of thy dayes and the yeeres of life, and thy prosperitie.

³Let not mercie and trueth forsake thee: binde them on thy necke, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.

⁴So shalt thou finde fauour and good vnderstanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and leane not vnto thine owne wisdome.

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

⁷Be not wise in thine owne eyes: but feare the Lord, and depart from euill.

⁸So health shalbe vnto thy nauel, and marowe vnto thy bones.

⁹Honour the Lord with thy riches, and with the first fruites of all thine increase.

¹⁰So shall thy barnes be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall burst with newe wine.

¹¹My sonne, refuse not the chastening of the Lord, neither be grieued with his correction.

¹²For the Lord correcteth him, whome he loueth, euen as the father doeth the childe in whom he deliteth.

¹³Blessed is the man that findeth wisedome, and the man that getteth vnderstanding.
