Proverbs 3
1 O son my instruction my may not you forget and commandments my let it keep heart your.
[My] son, forget not my laws; but let thine heart keep my words:
2 For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Loyalty and faithfulness may not they leave you bind them on necks your write them on [the] tablet of heart your.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck:
4 And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.
so shalt thou find favour: and do thou provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.
5 Trust to Yahweh with all heart your and to own understanding your may not you depend.
Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom.
6 In all ways your acknowledge him and he he will make straight paths your.
In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.
7 May not you be wise in own eyes your fear Yahweh and turn aside from evil.
Be not wise in thine own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.
8 Healing may it be to navel your and refreshment to bones your.
Then shall there be health to thy body, and good keeping to thy bones.
9 Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.
Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness:
10 So they may be filled storehouses your plenty and new wine wine vats your they will burst open.
that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine.
11 [the] discipline of Yahweh O son my may not you reject and may not you loath rebuke his.
[My] son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
12 For [the one] whom he loves Yahweh he reproves and like a father a son [whom] he is pleased with.
for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.
13 How blessed! [is] a person [who] he finds wisdom and a person [who] he obtains understanding.
Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.
14 For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.
For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.
15 [is] precious She (more than jewels *Q(k)*) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.
And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.
16 Length of days [is] in right [hand] her [are] in left [hand] her wealth and honor.
For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.
17 Ways her [are] ways of kindness and all pathways her [are] well-being.
Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 [is] a tree of Life she to [those who] take hold on her and [those who] hold fast to her [are] called blessed.
She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is [a] secure [help] to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.
19 Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.
God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.
20 By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.
By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.
21 O son my may not they depart from eyes your keep sound wisdom and discretion.
[My] son, let [them] not pass from [thee], but keep my counsel and understanding:
22 So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.
that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck; and it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones:
23 Then you will walk to security way your and foot your not it will strike.
that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.
24 If you will lie down not you will fear and you will lie down and it will be pleasing sleep your.
For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.
25 May not you be afraid from terror suddenly and from [the] devastation of wicked [people] that it will come.
And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.
26 For Yahweh he will be confidence your and he will keep foot your from capture.
For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved.
27 May not you withhold good from owners its when belongs to [the] power of (hand your *Q(K)*) to do [it].
Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have [power] to help [him].
28 May not you say (to neighbor your *Q(K)*) go and come back and tomorrow I will give [it] and there is with you.
Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do [him] good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth.
29 May not you devise on neighbor your harm and he [is] dwelling to security with you.
Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee.
30 May not (you contend *Q(k)*) with anyone without cause if not he has dealt out to you evil.
Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm.
31 May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.
Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways.
32 For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh a crooked [person] and [is] with upright [people] intimacy his.
For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.
33 [the] curse of Yahweh [is] on [the] house of [the] wicked and [the] habitation of righteous [people] he blesses.
The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.
34 Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *Q(K)*) he gives favor.
The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.
35 Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonour.
