Proverbs 3:1-8

1 My son, forget not my laws;

But let thy heart keep my words:

2 For length of existence, and years of life,

And peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee;

But bind them about thy neck:

4 So shalt thou find favor: and do thou provide things honest

In the sight of the Lord, and of men.

5 Trust in God with all thy heart;

And be not exalted in thine own wisdom.

6 In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her,

That she may rightly direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own conceit;

But fear God, and depart from all evil.

8 Then shall there be health to thy body,

And good keeping to thy bones.
