PROVERBS 3:8-16

⁸It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

⁹Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

¹⁰So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

¹¹My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his reproof:

¹²For whom the LORD loveth he reproveth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹³Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

¹⁴For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

¹⁵She is more precious than rubies: and none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.

¹⁶Length of days is in her right had; in her left hand are riches and honour.
