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 teaching, And let thy heart observe my precepts!
2 For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
For length of days, and years of life, And peace shall they multiply 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 kindness and truth forsake thee; Bind them around thy neck, Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
4 And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.
Then shalt thou find favor and good success 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 thy heart, And lean not on 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 will make thy paths plain.
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 muscles, And moisture to thy bones.
9 Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.
Honor the LORD with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thy 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 vats overflow 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 correction of the LORD, Nor be impatient under his chastisement!
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 chasteneth, 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 the man who findeth wisdom; Yea, the man who getteth understanding!
14 For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.
For the profit thereof is greater than that of silver, And the gain thereof than that of fine gold.
15 [is] precious She (more than jewels *Q(k)*) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.
More precious is she than pearls, And none of thy jewels is to be compared with 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; In her left hand are riches and honor.
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 of her, And happy is every one who hath her in his grasp.
19 Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he framed the heavens.
20 By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.
By his knowledge the deep waters were cleft, 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 them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion!
22 So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.
For they shall be life to 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 go on thy way securely, 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 thou afraid of sudden alarm, Nor of the storm that is for 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; Yea, he will 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 kindness from those who need it, When it is in the power of thy 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 to thy neighbor, “Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give to thee,” 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 neighbor, While 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.
Contend not with a man without cause, When he hath done thee no harm.
31 May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.
Envy 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 perverse man is the abomination of the LORD, But he is in friendship with the upright.
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 upon the house of the wicked, But he blesseth the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *Q(K)*) he gives favor.
Surely the scorners he treadeth scornfully, But giveth favor to the lowly.
35 Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
The wise shall obtain honor, But fools shall bear off shame.
