Admonition to Trust and Honor God

3My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;H1121H7911H8451H3820H5341H4687 2for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.H753H3117H8141H2416H7965H3254 3Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.H2617H571H5800H7194H1621H3789H3871H3820 4So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.H4672H2580H2896H7922H5869H430H120 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.H982H3068H3820H8172H998 6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.H1870H3045H3474H734 7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.H2450H5869H3372H3068H5493H7451 8It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body.H7500H8270H8250H6106 9Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce;H3513H3068H1952H7225H8393 10then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.H618H4390H7647H3342H6555H8492 11My child, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof,H1121H3988H4148H3068H6973H8433 12for the LORD reproves the one he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.H3068H157H3198H1H1121H7521

The True Wealth

13Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding,H835H120H4672H2451H120H6329H8394 14for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold.H5504H2896H5505H3701H8393H2742 15She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.H3368H6443H2656H7737 16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.H753H3117H3225H8040H6239H3519 17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.H1870H1870H5278H5410H7965 18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.H6086H2416H2388H833H8551

God’s Wisdom in Creation

19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;H3068H2451H3245H776H8394H3559H8064 20by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.H1847H8415H1234H7834H7491H2919

The True Security

21My child, do not let these escape from your sight: keep sound wisdom and prudence,H1121H3868H5869H5341H8454H4209 22and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.H2416H5315H2580H1621 23Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not stumble.H3212H1870H983H7272H5062 24If you sit down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.H7901H6342H7901H8142H6149 25Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the storm that strikes the wicked;H3372H6597H6343H7722H7563H935 26for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.H3068H3689H8104H7272H3921 27Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.H4513H2896H1167H410H3027H6213 28Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it"—when you have it with you.H559H7453H3212H7725H4279H5414H3426 29Do not plan harm against your neighbor who lives trustingly beside you.H2790H7451H7453H3427H983 30Do not quarrel with anyone without cause, when no harm has been done to you.H7378H120H2600H1580H7451 31Do not envy the violent and do not choose any of their ways;H7065H376H2555H977H1870 32for the perverse are an abomination to the LORD, but the upright are in his confidence.H3868H8441H3068H5475H3477 33The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the abode of the righteous.H3994H3068H1004H7563H1288H5116H6662 34Toward the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he shows favor.H3887H3887H5414H2580H6035H6041 35The wise will inherit honor, but stubborn fools, disgrace.H2450H5157H3519H7036H7311H3684
