Proverbs 3
My sonH1121, forgetH7911 not my lawH8451; But let thy heartH3820 keepH5341 my commandmentsH4687:
For lengthH753 of daysH3117, and yearsH8141 of lifeH2416, And peaceH7965, will they addH3254 to thee.
Let not kindnessH2617 and truthH571 forsakeH5800 thee: BindH7194 them about thy neckH1621; WriteH3789 them upon the tabletH3871 of thy heartH3820:
So shalt thou findH4672 favorH2580 and goodH2896 understandingH7922 In the sightH5869 of GodH430 and manH120.
TrustH982 in JehovahH3068 with all thy heartH3820, And leanH8172 not upon thine own understandingH998:
In all thy waysH1870 acknowledgeH3045 him, And he will directH3474 thy pathsH734.
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869; FearH3372 JehovahH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451:
It will be healthH7500 to thy navelH8270, And marrowH8250 to thy bonesH6106.
HonorH3513 JehovahH3068 with thy substanceH1952, And with the first-fruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393:
So shall thy barnsH618 be filledH4390 with plentyH7647, And thy vatsH3342 shall overflowH6555 with new wineH8492.
My sonH1121, despiseH3988 not the chasteningH4148 of JehovahH3068; Neither be wearyH6973 of his reproofH8433:
For whom JehovahH3068 lovethH157 he reprovethH3198; Even as a fatherH1 the sonH1121 in whom he delightethH7521.
HappyH835 is the manH120 that findethH4672 wisdomH2451, And the manH120 that gettethH6329 understandingH8394.
For the gainingH5504 of it is betterH2896 than the gainingH5505 of silverH3701, And the profitH8393 thereof than fine goldH2742.
She is more preciousH3368 than rubiesH6443: And none of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be comparedH7737 unto her.
LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her right handH3225; In her left handH8040 are richesH6239 and honorH3519.
Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantnessH5278, And all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.
She is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon her: And happyH833 is every one that retainethH8551 her.
JehovahH3068 by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earthH776; By understandingH2451 he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064.
By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 were broken upH1234, And the skiesH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919.
My sonH1121, let them not departH3868 from thine eyesH5869; KeepH5341 sound wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209:
So shall they be lifeH2416 unto thy soulH5315, And graceH2580 to thy neckH1621.
Then shalt thou walkH3212 in thy wayH1870 securelyH983, And thy footH7272 shall not stumbleH5062.
When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt not be afraidH6342: Yea, thou shalt lie downH7901, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweetH6149.
Be not afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH6343, Neither of the desolationH7722 of the wickedH7563, when it comethH935:
For JehovahH3068 will be thy confidenceH3689, And will keepH8104 thy footH7272 from being takenH3921.
WithholdH4513 not goodH2896 from them to whom it is dueH1167, When it is in the powerH410 of thy handH3027 to doH6213 it.
SayH559 not unto thy neighborH7453, GoH3212, and come againH7725, And to-morrowH4279 I will giveH5414; When thou hastH3426 it by thee.
DeviseH2790 not evilH7451 against thy neighborH7453, Seeing he dwellethH3427 securelyH983 by thee.
StriveH7378 not with a manH120 without causeH2600, If he have doneH1580 thee no harmH7451.
EnvyH7065 thou not the man of violenceH376, And chooseH977 none of his waysH1870.
For the perverseH3868 is an abominationH8441 to JehovahH3068; But his friendshipH5475 is with the uprightH3477.
The curseH3994 of JehovahH3068 is in the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563; But he blessethH1288 the habitationH5116 of the righteousH6662.
Surely he scoffethH3887 at the scoffersH3887; But he givethH5414 graceH2580 unto the lowlyH6035.
The wiseH2450 shall inheritH5157 gloryH3519; But shameH7036 shall be the promotionH7311 of foolsH3684.
