Proverbs Chapter 3

1: My son, forget not my teaching, keep in mind my commands;

2: For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you.

3: Let not kindness and fidelity leave you, bind them around your neck;

4: Then will you win favor and good esteem before God and man.

5: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not.

6: In all your ways be mindful of Him, and He will make straight your paths.

7: Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and turn away from evil;

8: This will mean health for your flesh and vigor for your bones.

.......

19: The Lord by wisdom founded the earth, established the heavens by understanding;

20: By His knowledge the depths break open, and the clouds drop down dew.

21: My son, let not these slip out of your sight: keep advice and counsel in view,

22: So will they be life to your soul, and an adornment for your neck.
