proverbs 箴言03

3My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,
2for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
3Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind¹ them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
5Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun² evil.
8This will bring health to your body and nourishment³ to your bones.
9Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10then your barns will be filled to overflowing⁴, and your vats⁵ will brim over with new wine.
11My son, do not despise the Lord 's discipline and do not resent his rebuke⁶,
12because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
13Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
14for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
15She is more precious than rubies⁷; nothing you desire can compare with her.
16Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
19By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
21My son, preserve sound judgment⁸ and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;
22they will be life for you, an ornament⁹ to grace your neck.
23Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble;
24when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared¹⁰.
27Do not withhold¹¹ good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.
28Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow"- when you now have it with you.
29Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
30Do not accuse a man for no reason- when he has done you no harm.
31Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways,
32for the Lord detests¹² a perverse¹³ man but takes the upright into his confidence.
33The Lord 's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble¹⁴.
35The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.
