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.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
