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 law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
For length of days, and long 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: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust to Yahweh with all heart your and to own understanding your may not you depend.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all ways your acknowledge him and he he will make straight paths your.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall 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 eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 Healing may it be to navel your and refreshment to bones your.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.
Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So they may be filled storehouses your plenty and new wine wine vats your they will burst open.
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new 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; neither be weary of his correction:
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 loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 How blessed! [is] a person [who] he finds wisdom and a person [who] he obtains understanding.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 [is] precious She (more than jewels *Q(k)*) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days [is] in right [hand] her [are] in left [hand] her wealth and honor.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Ways her [are] ways of kindness and all pathways her [are] well-being.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
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 them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 O son my may not they depart from eyes your keep sound wisdom and discretion.
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23 Then you will walk to security way your and foot your not it will strike.
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24 If you will lie down not you will fear and you will lie down and it will be pleasing sleep your.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 May not you be afraid from terror suddenly and from [the] devastation of wicked [people] that it will come.
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For Yahweh he will be confidence your and he will keep foot your from capture.
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 May not you withhold good from owners its when belongs to [the] power of (hand your *Q(K)*) to do [it].
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
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 unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 May not you devise on neighbor your harm and he [is] dwelling to security with you.
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 May not (you contend *Q(k)*) with anyone without cause if not he has dealt out to you evil.
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh a crooked [person] and [is] with upright [people] intimacy his.
For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with 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 the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *Q(K)*) he gives favor.
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
