The Proverbs

Chapter 3

American Standard Version

Pr 3:1My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:
Pr 3:2For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.
Pr 3:3Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
Pr 3:4So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.
Pr 3:5Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:
Pr 3:6In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
Pr 3:7Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
Pr 3:8It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.
Pr 3:9Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:
Pr 3:10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
Pr 3:11My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:
Pr 3:12For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Pr 3:13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.
Pr 3:14For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.
Pr 3:15She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
Pr 3:16Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
Pr 3:17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
Pr 3:18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
Pr 3:19Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
Pr 3:20By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
Pr 3:21My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Pr 3:22So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.
Pr 3:23Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.
Pr 3:24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Pr 3:25Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:
Pr 3:26For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.
Pr 3:27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
Pr 3:28Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.
Pr 3:29Devise not evil against thy neighbor, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
Pr 3:30Strive not with a man without cause, If he have done thee no harm.
Pr 3:31Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.
Pr 3:32For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.
Pr 3:33The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
Pr 3:34Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers; But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Pr 3:35The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.
