Proverbs 3:6-15

⁶In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.

⁷I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:

⁸For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.

⁹Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:

¹⁰And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.

¹¹My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:

¹²For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.

¹³Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:

¹⁴The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:

¹⁵She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
