Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

1 My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments;

2 for they shall add length of days, and long life, and peace to you.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; tie them around your neck; write them upon the tablet of your heart;

4 and you shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

5 Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

8 Healing shall be to your navel and marrow to your bones.

9 Honor Jehovah with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase;

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

10 and your barns shall be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst with new wine.

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of Jehovah; nor be weary with His correction;

12 for whom Jehovah loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

14 For the profit from it is better than the gain from silver, and its produce more than fine gold;

15 she is more precious than rubies; and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand, riches and honor.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her; and happy is everyone who keeps her.

19 Jehovah has founded the earth by wisdom; by understanding He has founded the heavens.

20 By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and judgment,

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

22 and they shall be life to your soul and grace to your neck;

23 then you shall walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

25 Do not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the destroying of the wicked, when it comes.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

26 For Jehovah shall be your hope, and shall keep your foot from being taken.

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

28 Do not say to your neighbor, Go and come back again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it beside you:

29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor, since he dwells trustingly by you.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

30 Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

31 Do not envy the cruel man, and choose none of his ways.

32 For the crooked man is hateful to Jehovah, but His secret is with the righteous.

33 The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; but He blesses the home of the just.

Proverbs Chapter[BR] 3

34 Surely He scorns the scorners; but He gives grace to the lowly.

35 The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
