Proverbs [Sayings] 3:1-7

¹My son, don’t forget my teaching; but keep my mitzvot ·instructions· in your heart:

²for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.

³Don’t let cheshed ·loving-kindness· and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴So you will find chen ·grace·, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵Trust in Adonai 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 Adonai , and depart from evil.
