## Text

[1] My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments; [2] for they will add length to your days,
years and peace to your life. [3] Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart. [4] Then you will find favor and high regard
in the sight of God and man. [5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight. [7] Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil. [8] This will bring healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones. [9] Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your harvest; [10] then 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,
and do not loathe His rebuke; [12] for the LORD disciplines the one He loves,
as does a father the son in whom he delights. [13] Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who acquires understanding, [14] for she is more profitable than silver,
and her gain is better than fine gold. [15] She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire compares with her. [16] Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor. [17] All her ways are pleasant,
and all her paths are peaceful. [18] She is a tree of life to those who embrace her,
and those who lay hold of her are blessed. [19] The LORD founded the earth by wisdom
and established the heavens by understanding. [20] By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open,
and the clouds dripped with dew. [21] My son, do not lose sight of this:
Preserve sound judgment and discernment. [22] They will be life to your soul
and adornment to your neck. [23] Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble. [24] When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you rest, your sleep will be sweet. [25] Do not fear sudden danger
or the ruin that overtakes the wicked, [26] for the LORD will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from the snare. [27] Do not withhold good from the deserving
when it is within your power to act. [28] Do not tell your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I will provide”—
when you already have the means. [29] Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
for he trustfully dwells beside you. [30] Do not accuse a man without cause,
when he has done you no harm. [31] Do not envy a violent man
or choose any of his ways; [32] for the LORD detests the perverse,
but He is a friend to the upright. [33] The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
but He blesses the home of the righteous. [34] He mocks the mockers,
but gives grace to the humble. [35] The wise will inherit honor,
but fools are held up to shame.
