The Rewards of Wisdom
3My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments;H11212For length of days and years of life, And peace they will add to you.H753H3117H8141H2416H7965H3254
3Do not let kindness and truth leave 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 man.H4672H2580H2896H7922H5869H430H120
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding.H982H3068H3820H8172H998
6In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.H1870H3045H3474H734
7Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.H2450H5869H3372H3068H5493H7451
8It will be healing to your body, And refreshment to your bones.H7500H8270H8250H6106
9Honor the LORD from your wealth, And from the first of all your produce;H3513H3068H1952H7225H8393
10So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.H618H4390H7647H3342H6555H8492
11My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, Or loathe His reproof,H1121H3988H4148H3068H6973H8433
12For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father, the son in whom he delights.H3068H157H3198H1H1121H7521
13How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.H835H120H4672H2451H120H6329H8394
14For its profit is better than the profit of silver, And its gain than fine gold.H5504H2896H5505H3701H8393H2742
15She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her.H3368H6443H2656H7737
16Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.H753H3117H3225H8040H6239H3519
17Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are peace.H1870H1870H5278H5410H7965
18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who hold her fast.H6086H2416H2388H833H8551
19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens.H3068H2451H3245H776H8394H3559H8064
20By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, And the skies drip with dew.H1847H8415H1234H7834H7491H2919
21My son, let them not depart from your sight; Keep sound wisdom and discretion,H1121H3868H5869H5341H8454H4209
22So they will be life to your soul, And adornment to your neck.H2416H5315H2580H1621
23Then you will walk in your way securely, And your foot will not stumble.H3212H1870H983H7272H5062
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.H7901H6342H7901H8142H6149
25Do not be afraid of sudden fear, Nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes;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 back, And tomorrow I will give [it,]" When you have it with you.H559H7453H3212H7725H4279H5414H3426
29Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives in security beside you.H2790H7451H7453H3427H983
30Do not contend with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.H7378H120H2600H1580H7451 
31Do not envy a man of violence, And do not choose any of his ways.H7065H376H2555H977H1870
32For the crooked [man] is an abomination to the LORD; But He is intimate with the upright.H3868H8441H3068H5475H3477
33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the dwelling of the righteous.H3994H3068H1004H7563H1288H5116H6662 
New Testament
34Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the afflicted.H3887H3887H5414H2580H6035H6041
35The wise will inherit honor, But fools display dishonor.H2450H5157H3519H7036H7311H3684
