3MY SON, forget not my law {or} teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;H1121H7911H8451H3820H5341H4687 2For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.H753H3117H8141H2416H7965H3254 3Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart.H2617H571H5800H7194H1621H3789H3871H3820 4So shall you find favor, good understanding, {and} high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.H4672H2580H2896H7922H5869H430H120 5Lean on, trust in, {and} be confident in the Lord with all your heart {and} mind and do not rely on your own insight {or} understanding.H982H3068H3820H8172H998 6In all your ways know, recognize, {and} acknowledge Him, and He will direct {and} make straight {and} plain your paths.H1870H3045H3474H734 7Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear {and} worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.H2450H5869H3372H3068H5493H7451 8It shall be health to your nerves {and} sinews, and marrow {and} moistening to your bones.H7500H8270H8250H6106 9Honor the Lord with your capital {and} sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income;H3513H3068H1952H7225H8393 10So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.H618H4390H7647H3342H6555H8492 11My son, do not despise {or} shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of {or} impatient about {or} loathe {or} abhor His reproof,H1121H3988H4148H3068H6973H8433 12For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.H3068H157H3198H1H1121H7521 13Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful {and} godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences],H835H120H4672H2451H120H6329H8394 14For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold.H5504H2896H5505H3701H8393H2742 15Skillful {and} godly Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her.H3368H6443H2656H7737 16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor.H753H3117H3225H8040H6239H3519 17Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.H1870H1870H5278H5410H7965 18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast.H6086H2416H2388H833H8551 19The Lord by skillful {and} godly Wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens.H3068H2451H3245H776H8394H3559H8064 20By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew.H1847H8415H1234H7834H7491H2919 21My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound {and} godly Wisdom and discretion,H1121H3868H5869H5341H8454H4209 22And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self).H2416H5315H2580H1621 23Then you will walk in your way securely {and} in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot {or} stumble.H3212H1870H983H7272H5062 24When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.H7901H6342H7901H8142H6149 25Be not afraid of sudden terror {and} panic, nor of the stormy blast {or} the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless],H3372H6597H6343H7722H7563H935 26For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm {and} strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger].H3068H3689H8104H7272H3921 27Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it.H4513H2896H1167H410H3027H6213 28Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it--when you have it with you.H559H7453H3212H7725H4279H5414H3426 29Do not contrive {or} dig up {or} cultivate evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly {and} confidently beside you.H2790H7451H7453H3427H983 30Contend not with a man for no reason--when he has done you no wrong.H7378H120H2600H1580H7451 31Do not resentfully envy {and} be jealous of an unscrupulous, grasping man, and choose none of his ways.H7065H376H2555H977H1870 32For the perverse are an abomination [extremely disgusting and detestable] to the Lord; but His confidential communion {and} secret counsel are with the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him).H3868H8441H3068H5475H3477 33The curse of the Lord is in {and} on the house of the wicked, but He declares blessed (joyful and favored with blessings) the home of the just {and} consistently righteous.H3994H3068H1004H7563H1288H5116H6662 34Though He scoffs at the scoffers {and} scorns the scorners, yet He gives His undeserved favor to the low [in rank], the humble, {and} the afflicted.H3887H3887H5414H2580H6035H6041 35The wise shall inherit glory (all honor and good) but shame is the highest rank conferred on [self-confident] fools.H2450H5157H3519H7036H7311H3684
