Proverbs 3
but let your heart keep my commandments:
years of life, and peace.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
and don’t lean on your own understanding.
and he will make your paths straight.
Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
and nourishment to your bones.
with the first fruits of all your increase:
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
neither be weary of his correction;
even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
the man who gets understanding.
and her return is better than fine gold.
None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
In her left hand are riches and honor.
All her paths are peace.
Happy is everyone who retains her.
By understanding, he established the heavens.
and the skies drop down the dew.
Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
and grace for your neck.
Your foot won’t stumble.
Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
and will keep your foot from being taken.
when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
tomorrow I will give it to you,”
when you have it by you.
since he dwells securely by you.
if he has done you no harm.
Choose none of his ways.
but his friendship is with the upright.
but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
but he gives grace to the humble.
but shame will be the promotion of fools.
