Proverbs - Chapter 3

Pro 3:1	¶	My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Pro 3:2		For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Pro 3:3		Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Pro 3:4		So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Pro 3:5		Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6		In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro 3:7	¶	Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Pro 3:8		It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Pro 3:9		Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
Pro 3:10		So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Pro 3:11		My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Pro 3:12		For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
Pro 3:13	¶	Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.
Pro 3:14		For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Pro 3:15		She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Pro 3:16		Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.
Pro 3:17		Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
Pro 3:18		She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
Pro 3:19	¶	The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
Pro 3:20		By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
Pro 3:21		My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Pro 3:22		So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Pro 3:23		Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
Pro 3:24		When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Pro 3:25		Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
Pro 3:26		For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Pro 3:27	¶	Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it].
Pro 3:28		Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Pro 3:29		Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
Pro 3:30		Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
Pro 3:31	¶	Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Pro 3:32		For the froward [is] abomination to the LORD: but his secret [is] with the righteous.
Pro 3:33		The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Pro 3:34		Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Pro 3:35		The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
