PROVERBS 3
“Guidance for the Young”


My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep
my commands;

2 For length of days and long life And peace they will
add to you.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around
your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,

4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of
God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not
on 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 the Lord and
depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to
your bones.

9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the
firstfruits of all your increase;

10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your
vats will overflow with new wine.

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a
father the son in whom he delights.

13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who
gains understanding;

14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of
silver, And her gain than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies, And all the things
you may desire cannot compare with her.

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

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

18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.

19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding
He established the heavens;

20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds
drop down the dew.

21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound
wisdom and discretion;

22 So they will be life to your soul And grace to your
neck.

23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot
will not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you
will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble
from the wicked when it comes;

26 For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep
your foot from being caught.

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

28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And
tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you.

29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he
dwells by you for safety's sake.

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

31 Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways;

32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the
Lord, But His secret counsel is with the upright.

33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the just.

34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to
the humble.

35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the
legacy of fools.

God Bless you -
