Proverbs Chapter 3 1-12

My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments:
For length of days,
and long life,
and peace,
shall they add to you.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you,
bind them about your neck;
write them upon the table of your heart:
So shall you find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes:
fear the LORD , and depart from evil.
It shall be health to your navel,
and marrow to your bones.
Honour the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your presses shall burst out with new wine.
My son, despise not the LORD's discipline;
neither be weary of his correction:
For the LORD disciplines those he loves,
even as a father the son in whom he delights.
