Proverbs 3
3:1O son, forget not my laws, and give heed to my sayings in your heart!
3:2For the length of existence, and years of life and peace shall be added to you.
3:3Charity and trust -- do not let them fail to you! but affix them upon your neck! write them upon the tablet of your heart!
3:4and you shall find favor. And think beforehand on the good things before the lord and men!
3:5Be yielding with your whole heart upon God, and upon your own wisdom be not encouraged!
3:6In all your ways make her known! that she should cut straight your ways.
3:7Be not skilled of yourself, but fear God, and turn aside from all evil!
3:8Then shall there be healing to your body, and care to your bones.
3:9Esteem the lord by your just toils, and dedicate to him from your fruits of righteousness!
3:10that your storerooms should be filled with fullness of grain, and wine should gush out of your wine vats.
3:11O son, do not have little regard for the instruction of the lord, nor loosen up under his reproving!
3:12For whom the lord loves he corrects; and he whips every son whom he welcomes.
3:13Blessed is the man who found wisdom, and the mortal who beholds intelligence.
3:14For it is better to trade for her, than for gold and silver treasures.
3:15And she is more valuable than very costly stones; and every valuable thing is not equal her worth.
3:16For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left riches and glory. Out of her mouth goes forth in righteousness; and law and mercy she wears upon her tongue.
3:17Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are in peace.
3:18She is a tree of life to all the ones holding her; and to the ones leaning upon her are safe as upon the lord.
3:19God in wisdom founded the earth; and he prepared the heavens in intelligence.
3:20In his perception abysses were torn, and clouds flowed dew.
3:21O son, you should not let it flow by; but heed my counsel and insight!
3:22that your soul should live, and favor should be around your neck; and it will be healing to your flesh, and care to your bones;
3:23that you should go yielded in peace in all your ways, and the foot of yours in no way should stumble.
3:24For if you should sit down, you will be without fear; and if you should repose, you shall sleep with pleasure.
3:25And you shall not be afraid of terror coming upon, nor the thrusting of the impious coming upon.
3:26For the lord will be over all your ways, and he shall establish your foot that you should not be shaken.
3:27You should not be at a distance to do good to the one lacking, when you should have your hand to help.
3:28You should not say, Returning back, come back again! and tomorrow I will give; while being able to do good is with you; for you shall not see what shall give birth against you.
3:29You should not contrive bad things against your friend, the one sojourning and relying upon you.
3:30You should not be fond of quarreling against a man in vain, so that he should not work evil against you.
3:31You should not acquire evils of men's scorn, nor should you be jealous of their ways.
3:32For every lawbreaker is unclean before the lord, and they do not sit together with the righteous.
3:33The curse of the lord is in the houses of the impious, but the properties of the just are blessed.
3:34The lord resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.
3:35The wise shall inherit glory; but the impious exalted dishonor.
