Proverbs 3:2-13

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 Yahweh 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 Yahweh, and depart from evil.

⁸It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.

⁹Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;

¹⁰so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

¹¹My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

¹²for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

¹³Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
