| My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; | BHWEm Pr.3.1-35 | ||
| for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you. | |||
| Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. | |||
| So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man. | |||
| Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. | |||
| In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. | |||
| Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. | |||
| It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. | |||
| Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; | |||
| then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. | |||
| My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof, | |||
| for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. | |||
| Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding, | |||
| for the gain from it is better than gain from silver and its profit better than gold. | |||
| She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. | |||
| Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. | |||
| Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. | |||
| She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy. | |||
| The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; | |||
| by his knowledge the deeps broke forth, and the clouds drop down the dew. | |||
| My son, keep sound wisdom and discretion; let them not escape from your sight, | |||
| and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck. | |||
| Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble. | |||
| If you sit down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. | |||
| Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes; | |||
| for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. | |||
| Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. | |||
| Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it" - when you have it with you. | |||
| Do not plan evil against your neighbor who dwells trustingly beside you. | |||
| Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm. | |||
| Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways; | |||
| for the perverse man is an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence. | |||
| The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous. | |||
| Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favor. | |||
| The wise will inherit honor, but fools get disgrace. | |||
