Revision as of 03:49, 4 January 2011

  • 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
  • 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
  • 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
  • 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
  • 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
  • 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
  • 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
  • 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
  • 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
  • 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
  • 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
  • 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
  • 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
  • 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
  • 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
  • 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
  • 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
  • 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
  • 19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
  • 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
  • 21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
  • 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
  • 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
  • 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
  • 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
  • 26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
  • 27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
  • 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
  • 29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
  • 30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
  • 31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
  • 32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
  • 33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
  • 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
  • 35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
