Proverbs 3:1-10 - Wisdom And Piety

¹ My child, do not forget my instruction, and may your heart guard my commands. ² For length of days, years of life, and peace they shall add to you. ³ May loyal love and truth not forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them upon your heart. ⁴ And you shall find favor and good sense in the eyes of God and humankind.

⁵ {Trust Yahweh} with all your heart; do not lean toward your own understanding. ⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will straighten your paths. ⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Yahweh and retreat from evil. ⁸ There shall be healing for your {flesh}, and refreshment for your body. ⁹ Honor Yahweh from your substance, and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you, ¹⁰ and your barns shall be full of plenty, and your vats shall burst [with] new wine.
