# Chapter 3
|
|
1. My son, do not forget my law,
|
|
But let your heart keep my commands;
|
|
|
|
2. For length of days and long life
|
|
And peace they will add to you.
|
|
|
|
3. Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
|
|
Bind them around your neck,
|
|
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
|
|
|
|
4. And so find favor and high esteem
|
|
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 shall direct your paths.
|
|
|
|
7. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
|
|
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
|
|
|
|
8. It will be health to your flesh,
|
|
And strength to your bones.
|
|
|
|
9. Honor the Lord with your possessions,
|
|
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
|
|
|
|
10. So your barns will be filled with plenty,
|
|
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
|
|
|
|
11. My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
|
|
Nor detest His correction;
|
|
|
|
12. For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
|
|
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
|
|
|
|
13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
|
|
And the man who gains understanding;
|
|
|
|
14. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
|
|
And her gain than fine gold.
|
|
|
|
15. She is more precious than rubies,
|
|
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
|
|
|
|
16. Length of days is in her right hand,
|
|
In her left hand riches and honor.
|
|
|
|
17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
|
|
And all her paths are peace.
|
|
|
|
18. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
|
|
And happy are all who retain her.
|
|
|
|
19. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
|
|
By understanding He established the heavens;
|
|
|
|
20. By His knowledge the depths were broken up,
|
|
And clouds drop down the dew.
|
|
|
|
21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes--
|
|
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
|
|
|
|
22. So they will be life to your soul
|
|
And grace to your neck.
|
|
|
|
23. Then you will walk safely in your way,
|
|
And your foot will not stumble.
|
|
|
|
24. When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
|
|
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
|
|
|
|
25. Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
|
|
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
|
|
|
|
26. For the Lord will be your confidence,
|
|
And will keep your foot from being caught.
|
|
|
|
27. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
|
|
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
|
|
|
|
28. Do not say to your neighbor,
|
|
"Go, and come back,
|
|
And tomorrow I will give it,"
|
|
When you have it with you.
|
|
|
|
29. Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
|
|
For he dwells by you for safety's sake.
|
|
|
|
30. Do not strive with a man without cause,
|
|
If he has done you no harm.
|
|
|
|
31. Do not envy the oppressor,
|
|
And choose none of his ways;
|
|
|
|
32. For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,
|
|
But His secret counsel is with the upright.
|
|
|
|
33. The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
|
|
But He blesses the home of the just.
|
|
|
|
34. Surely He scorns the scornful,
|
|
But gives grace to the humble.
|
|
|
|
35. The wise shall inherit glory,
|
|
But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
