Proverbs 3

1My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments: 2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you. 3Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them upon the table of your heart: 4So shall you find favour and good understanding in the sight of Elohim and man. 5Trust in the Yahuah with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. 6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. 7Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the Yahuah, and depart from evil. 8It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones. 9Honour the Yahuah with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase: 10So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine. 11My son, despise not the chastening of the Yahuah; neither be weary of his correction: 12For whom the Yahuah loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son he delighteth. 13Happy the man findeth wisdom, and the man getteth understanding. 14For the merchandise of it better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15She more precious than rubies: and all the things you canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16Length of days in her right hand; in her left hand riches and honour. 17Her ways ways of pleasantness, and all her paths peace. 18She a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy that retaineth her. 19The Yahuah by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens. 20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. 21My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 22So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck. 23Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble. 24When you liest down, you shall not be afraid: yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. 25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26For the Yahuah shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken. 27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do . 28Say not unto your neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when you hast it by you. 29Devise not evil against your neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by you. 30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm. 31Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. 32For the froward abomination to the Yahuah: but his secret with the righteous. 33The curse of the Yahuah in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. 35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
