Proverbs 3

Comments











[[1]]

1 ¶ My son, forget^[1] not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

[2] For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

[3] Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:^[2]

[4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

[5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

[6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

[7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

[8] It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

[9] Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

[10] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

[11] My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

[12] For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

[13] Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.^[3]

[14] For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

[15] She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

[16] Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

[17] Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.^[4]

[18] She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

[19] The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

[20] By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

[21] My son, let not them depart^[5] from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

[22] So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

[23] Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

[24] When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

[25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

[26] For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

[27] Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

[28] Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

[29] Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

[30] Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

[31] Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

[32] For the froward^[5] is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

[33] The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

[34] Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

[35] The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.----
