Proverbs 3:1–10

Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

3 yMy son, do not forget my teaching,

zbut let your heart keep my commandments,

2  for alength of days and years of life

and bpeace they will add to you.

3  Let not csteadfast love and dfaithfulness forsake you;

ebind them around your neck;

fwrite them on the tablet of your heart.

4  So you will gfind favor and hgood success1

in the sight of God and man.

5  iTrust in the Lord with all your heart,

and jdo not lean on your own understanding.

6  In all your ways kacknowledge him,

and he lwill make straight your paths.

7  mBe not wise in your own eyes;

nfear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

8  It will be ohealing to your flesh2

and prefreshment3 to your bones.

9  Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with qthe firstfruits of all your produce;

10  then your rbarns will be filled with plenty,

and your vats will be bursting with wine.
