9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,

with the firstfruitsm of all your crops;

10 then your barns will be filledn to overflowing,

and your vats will brim over with new wine.o

11 My son,p do not despise the Lord’s discipline,q

and do not resent his rebuke,

12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,r

as a father the son he delights in.b s
