Proverbs 3 (kjv)

My son^H1121, forget^H7911 not my law^H8451; but let thine heart^H3820 keep^H5341 my commandments^H4687:²For length^H753 of days^H3117, and long^H8141 life^H2416, and peace^H7965, shall they add^H3254 to thee.³Let not mercy^H2617 and truth^H571 forsake^H5800 thee: bind^H7194 them about thy neck^H1621; write^H3789 them upon the table^H3871 of thine heart^H3820:⁴So shalt thou find^H4672 favour^H2580 and good^H2896 understanding^H7922 in the sight^H5869 of God^H430 and man^H120.⁵Trust^H982 in the LORD^H3068 with all thine heart^H3820; and lean^H8172 not unto thine own understanding^H998.⁶In all thy ways^H1870 acknowledge^H3045 him, and he shall direct^H3474 thy paths^H734.⁷Be not wise^H2450 in thine own eyes^H5869: fear^H3372 the LORD^H3068, and depart^H5493 from evil^H7451.⁸It shall be health^H7500 to thy navel^H8270, and marrow^H8250 to thy bones^H6106.⁹Honour^H3513 the LORD^H3068 with thy substance^H1952, and with the firstfruits^H7225 of all thine increase^H8393:¹⁰So shall thy barns^H618 be filled^H4390 with plenty^H7647, and thy presses^H3342 shall burst out^H6555 with new wine^H8492.¹¹My son^H1121, despise^H3988 not the chastening^H4148 of the LORD^H3068; neither be weary^H6973 of his correction^H8433:¹²For whom the LORD^H3068 loveth^H157 he correcteth^H3198; even as a father^H1 the son^H1121 in whom he delighteth^H7521.

¹³Happy^H835 is the man^H120 that findeth^H4672 wisdom^H2451, and the man^H120 that getteth^H6329 understanding^H8394.¹⁴For the merchandise^H5504 of it is better^H2896 than the merchandise^H5505 of silver^H3701, and the gain^H8393 thereof than fine gold^H2742.¹⁵She is more precious^H3368 than rubies^H6443: and all the things thou canst desire^H2656 are not to be compared^H7737 unto her.¹⁶Length^H753 of days^H3117 is in her right hand^H3225; and in her left hand^H8040 riches^H6239 and honour^H3519.¹⁷Her ways^H1870 are ways^H1870 of pleasantness^H5278, and all her paths^H5410 are peace^H7965.¹⁸She is a tree^H6086 of life^H2416 to them that lay hold^H2388 upon her: and happy^H833 is every one that retaineth^H8551 her.¹⁹The LORD^H3068 by wisdom^H2451 hath founded^H3245 the earth^H776; by understanding^H8394 hath he established^H3559 the heavens^H8064.²⁰By his knowledge^H1847 the depths^H8415 are broken up^H1234, and the clouds^H7834 drop down^H7491 the dew^H2919.²¹My son^H1121, let not them depart^H3868 from thine eyes^H5869: keep^H5341 sound wisdom^H8454 and discretion^H4209:²²So shall they be life^H2416 unto thy soul^H5315, and grace^H2580 to thy neck^H1621.²³Then shalt thou walk^H3212 in thy way^H1870 safely^H983, and thy foot^H7272 shall not stumble^H5062.²⁴When thou liest down^H7901, thou shalt not be afraid^H6342: yea, thou shalt lie down^H7901, and thy sleep^H8142 shall be sweet^H6149.²⁵Be not afraid^H3372 of sudden^H6597 fear^H6343, neither of the desolation^H7722 of the wicked^H7563, when it cometh^H935.²⁶For the LORD^H3068 shall be thy confidence^H3689, and shall keep^H8104 thy foot^H7272 from being taken^H3921.

²⁷Withhold^H4513 not good^H2896 from them to whom it is due^H1167, when it is in the power^H410 of thine hand^H3027 to do^H6213 it.²⁸Say^H559 not unto thy neighbour^H7453, Go^H3212, and come again^H7725, and to morrow^H4279 I will give^H5414; when thou hast^H3426 it by thee.²⁹Devise^H2790 not evil^H7451 against thy neighbour^H7453, seeing he dwelleth^H3427 securely^H983 by thee.³⁰Strive^H7378 not with a man^H120 without cause^H2600, if he have done^H1580 thee no harm^H7451.³¹Envy^H7065 thou not the oppressor^{H376 H2555}, and choose^H977 none of his ways^H1870.³²For the froward^H3868 is abomination^H8441 to the LORD^H3068: but his secret^H5475 is with the righteous^H3477.

³³The curse^H3994 of the LORD^H3068 is in the house^H1004 of the wicked^H7563: but he blesseth^H1288 the habitation^H5116 of the just^H6662.³⁴Surely he scorneth^H3887 the scorners^H3887: but he giveth^H5414 grace^H2580 unto the lowly^{H6035 H6041}.³⁵The wise^H2450 shall inherit^H5157 glory^H3519: but shame^H7036 shall be the promotion^H7311 of fools^H3684.
