Proverbs 3:1-7

¹My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,

²for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.

³Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

⁶In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

⁷Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
