Put thy trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase:

My son, forget not my law, but see that thine heart keep my commandments.

In all thy ways have respect unto him, and he shall order thy goings.

Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding,

so shall thy navel be whole, and thy bones strong.

For whom the LORD loveth, him he chasteneth: and yet delighteth in him even as a father in his own son.

So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with sweet wine.

Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peaceable.

Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but keep my law and my counsel:

Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour.

for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit of it is better than gold.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast.

For they shall prolong the days and years of thy life, and bring thee peace.

Follow not a wicked man, and choose none of his ways:

Thou needest not to be afraid of any sudden fear, neither for the violent rushing of the ungodly, when it cometh.

Through his wisdom the depths break up, and the clouds drop down of the dew.

Then shalt thou walk safely in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble.

For the LORD shall be beside thee, and keep thy foot that thou be not taken.

If thou sleepest thou shalt not be afraid, but shall take thy rest and sleep sweetly.

So shall it be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy mouth.

Strive not lightly with any man, wher as he hath done thee no harm.

Say not unto thy neighbour, "Go thy way and come again, tomorrow will I give thee"

As for the scornful, he shall laugh them to scorn, but he shall give grace unto the lowly.

whereas thou hast now to give him. Intend no hurt unto thy neighbour, seeing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee.

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the ungodly, but he blesseth the dwellings of the righteous.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither faint when thou are rebuked of him.

Refuse not to do good unto him that should have it, so long as thine hand is able to do it.

Let mercy and faithfulness never go from thee: bind them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thine heart.

With wisdom hath the LORD laid the foundation of the earth, and through understanding hath he established the heavens.

Be not wise in thine own conceit, but fear the LORD, and depart from evil:

So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and men.

for the LORD abhorreth the froward, but his secret is among the righteous.

The wise shall have honour in possession, but shame is the promotion that fools shall have.
