Proverbs 3

An exhortation to the practice of virtue.

⁠

[1]⁠

My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.

[2]⁠

For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.

[3]⁠

Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thy heart:

[4]⁠

And thou shalt find grace and good understanding before God and men.

[5]⁠

Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thy own prudence.

⁠

[6]⁠

In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.

[7]⁠

Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:

[8]⁠

For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.

[9]⁠

Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:

[10]⁠

And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.

⁠

[11]⁠

My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:

[12]⁠

For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.

[13]⁠

Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:

[14]⁠

The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:

[15]⁠

She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.

⁠

[16]⁠

Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.

[17]⁠

Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.

[18]⁠

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.

[19]⁠

The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.

[20]⁠

By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew.

⁠

[21]⁠

My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:

[22]⁠

And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.

[23]⁠

Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:

[24]⁠

If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

[25]⁠

Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.

⁠

[26]⁠

For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.

[27]⁠

Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.

[28]⁠

Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and tomorrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present.

[29]⁠

Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee.

[30]⁠

Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil.

⁠

[31]⁠

Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:

[32]⁠

For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.

[33]⁠

Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed.

[34]⁠

He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.

[35]⁠

The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace.
