AKJV - Proverbs - 3

3:1  My son, forget not my law; but let your heart keep my commandments:

3:2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to you.

3:3  Let not mercy and truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them on the table of your heart:

3:4  So shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

3:5  Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding.

3:6  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

3:7  Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

3:8  It shall be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones.

3:9  Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase:

3:10  So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.

3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

3:12  For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.

3:13  Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.

3:14  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

3:15  She is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared to her.

3:16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.

3:17  Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

3:18  She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and happy is every one that retains her.

3:19  The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.

3:20  By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

3:21  My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

3:22  So shall they be life to your soul, and grace to your neck.

3:23  Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.

3:24  When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

3:25  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.

3:26  For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.

3:27  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

3:28  Say not to your neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when you have it by you.

3:29  Devise not evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.

3:30  Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done you no harm.

3:31  Envy you not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

3:32  For the fraudulent is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

3:33  The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.

3:34  Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace to the lowly.

3:35  The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
