Proverbs 3:1-12
Trust in the LORD with All Your Heart
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
1:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
2:
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
3:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4:
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
5:
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
6:
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
7:
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
8:
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
9:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
10:
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
11:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
12:
