Proverbs 3:1-8

1 My son, don’t forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments,

2 for they will add to you length of days,

years of life, and peace.

3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.

Bind them around your neck.

Write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 So you will find favor,

and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,

and don’t lean on your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.

7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes.

Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your body,

and nourishment to your bones.
