5iTrust in the Lord with all thine heart;
And jlean not unto thine own understanding.
6In all thy ways kacknowledge him,
And lhe shall direct thy paths.
7mBe not wise in thine own eyes:
nFear the Lord, and nodepart from evil.
8It shall be †health to thy navel,
9Honour the Lord with thy substance,
And with qthe firstfruits of all thine increase:
10So shall thy rbarns be filled with plenty,
And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11sMy son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
Neither be weary of his correction:
12For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
Even tas a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.

Trust Yahweh with all your heart;
do not lean toward your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will straighten your paths.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear Yahweh and retreat from evil.
There shall be healing for your flesh,

Honor Yahweh from your substance,
and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you,
and your barns shall be full of plenty,
and your vats shall burst with new wine.
Do not despise the discipline of Yahweh, my child.
Do not be weary of his reproof
because whomever Yahweh will love, he will rebuke,
as a father delights in his son.
