Proverbs 3:1-12 NAS
My son, do not forget my
teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and
years of life and peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness
and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet
of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight
of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not
lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and
He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and turn from evil. It will be healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord from your wealth and
from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with
plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. My son, do not
reject the discipline of the Lord or loathe His reproof, for whom the Lord
loves He reproves, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
