003:001
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

003:002
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

003:003
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

003:004
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

003:005
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

003:006
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

003:007
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

003:008
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

003:009
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

003:010
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

003:011
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

003:012
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

003:013
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

003:014
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

003:015
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

003:016
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

003:017
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

003:018
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

003:019
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

003:020
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

003:021
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

003:022
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

003:023
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

003:024
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

003:025
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

003:026
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

003:027
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

003:028
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

003:029
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

003:030
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

003:031
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

003:032
For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

003:033
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

003:034
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

003:035
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
