Proverbs 3:7-16

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.

¹⁴For the marchandise thereof is better then the marchandise of siluer, and the gaine thereof is better then golde.

¹⁵It is more precious then pearles: and all things that thou canst desire, are not to be compared vnto her.

¹⁶Length of dayes is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
