6 in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord and shun evil.

8 This will bring health to your body

and nourishment to your bones.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,

with the firstfruits of all your crops;

10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,

and your vats will brim over with new wine.

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

and do not resent his rebuke,

12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,

as a father the son he delights in.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes:

Fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel,

And marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance,

And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;

Neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

6 Seek his will in all you do,

and he will show you which path to take.

7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.

Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8 Then you will have healing for your body

and strength for your bones.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with the best part of everything you produce.

10 Then he will fill your barns with grain,

and your vats will overflow with good wine.

11 My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,

and don’t be upset when he corrects you.

12 For the Lord corrects those he loves,

just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh,

And strength to your bones.

9 Honor the Lord with your possessions,

And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,

And your vats will overflow with new wine.

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,

Nor detest His correction;

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,

Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

6 Remember the Lord in all you do,

and he will give you success.

7 Don’t depend on your own wisdom.

Respect the Lord and refuse to do wrong.

8 Then your body will be healthy,

and your bones will be strong.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth

and the firstfruits from all your crops.

10 Then your barns will be full,

and your wine barrels will overflow with new wine.

11 My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline,

and don’t get angry when he corrects you.

12 The Lord corrects those he loves,

just as parents correct the child they delight in.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he will direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes;

Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

8 It will be health to thy navel,

And marrow to thy bones.

9 Honor Jehovah with thy substance,

And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah;

Neither be weary of his reproof:

12 For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear Jehovah, and depart from evil: 8 it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones. 9 Honour Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase; 10 so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine. 11 My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement; 12 for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him, 

and he will make your paths smooth.

7 Do not consider yourself wise. 

Fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 

8 ⸤Then⸥ your body will be healed, 

and your bones will have nourishment. 

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth 

and with the first and best part of all your income.

10 Then your barns will be full, 

and your vats will overflow with fresh wine. 

11 Do not reject the discipline of the Lord, my son, 

and do not resent his warning, 

12 because the Lord warns the one he loves, 

even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased. 

6 think about Him in all your ways,

and He will guide you on the right paths.

7 Don’t consider yourself to be wise;

fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8 This will be healing for your body

and strengthening for your bones.

9 Honor the Lord with your possessions

and with the first produce of your entire harvest;

10 then your barns will be completely filled,

and your vats will overflow with new wine.

11 Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,

and do not loathe His discipline;

12 for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,

just as a father, the son he delights in.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

8 It will be a healing for your flesh

and a refreshment for your body.

9 Honor the Lord with your substance

and with the first fruits of all your produce;

10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,

and your vats will be bursting with wine.

11 My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline

or be weary of his reproof,

12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will straighten your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear Yahweh and retreat from evil.

8 There shall be healing for your flesh,

and refreshment for your body.

9 Honor Yahweh from your substance,

and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you,

10 and your barns shall be full of plenty,

and your vats shall burst with new wine.

11 Do not despise the discipline of Yahweh, my child.

Do not be weary of his reproof

12 because whomever Yahweh will love, he will rebuke,

as a father delights in his son.

6 In all your ways remember him.

Then he will make your paths smooth and straight.

7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes.

Have respect for the Lord and avoid evil.

8 That will bring health to your body.

It will make your bones strong.

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth.

Give him the first share of all your crops.

10 Then your storerooms will be so full they can’t hold everything.

Your huge jars will spill over with fresh wine.

11 My son, do not hate the Lord’s training.

Do not object when he corrects you.

12 The Lord trains those he loves.

He is like a father who trains the son he is pleased with.

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

8 It will be healing to your body

And refreshment to your bones.

9 Honor the Lord from your wealth

And from the first of all your produce;

10 So your barns will be filled with plenty

And your vats will overflow with new wine.

11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord

Or loathe His reproof,

12 For whom the Lord loves He reproves,

Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
