Proverbs 3:1–7

TRUST THE LORD

3 My son, don’t forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commands;y

2 for they will bring you

many days, a full life,A,z and well-being.aa

Tie them around your neck;

write them on the tablet of your heart.ab

4 Then you will find favor and high regard

with God and people.ac

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,ad

and do not rely on your own understanding;ae

6 in all your ways know him,

and he will make your paths straight.af

7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes;ag

fear the Lord and turn away from evil.ah
