Proverbs 3

1 [My] son, forget not my laws; but let your heart keep my words:

O son my instruction my may not you forget and commandments my let it keep heart your.

2 for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to you.

For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; but bind them about your neck:

Loyalty and faithfulness may not they leave you bind them on necks your write them on [the] tablet of heart your.

4 so shall you find favor: and do you provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.

And find favor and insight good in [the] eyes of God and humankind.

5 Trust in God with all your heart; and be not exalted in your own wisdom.

Trust to Yahweh with all heart your and to own understanding your may not you depend.

6 In all your ways acquaint yourself with her, that she may rightly direct your paths.

In all ways your acknowledge him and he he will make straight paths your.

7 Be not wise in your own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.

May not you be wise in own eyes your fear Yahweh and turn aside from evil.

8 Then shall there be health to your body, and good keeping to your bones.

Healing may it be to navel your and refreshment to bones your.

9 Honor the Lord with your just labors, and give him the first of your fruits of righteousness:

Honor Yahweh from wealth your and from [the] first of all produce your.

10 that your storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that your presses may burst forth with wine.

So they may be filled storehouses your plenty and new wine wine vats your they will burst open.

11 [My] son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when you are rebuked of him:

[the] discipline of Yahweh O son my may not you reject and may not you loath rebuke his.

12 for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.

For [the one] whom he loves Yahweh he reproves and like a father a son [whom] he is pleased with.

13 Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.

How blessed! [is] a person [who] he finds wisdom and a person [who] he obtains understanding.

14 For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.

For [is] good profit her more than [the] profit of silver and more than gold gain her.

15 And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.

[is] precious She (more than jewels *Qk) and all pleasures your not they compare with her.

16 For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.

Length of days [is] in right [hand] her [are] in left [hand] her wealth and honor.

17 Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.

Ways her [are] ways of kindness and all pathways her [are] well-being.

18 She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is [a] secure [help] to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.

[is] a tree of Life she to [those who] take hold on her and [those who] hold fast to her [are] called blessed.

19 God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.

Yahweh by wisdom he founded [the] earth he established [the] heavens by understanding.

20 By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.

By knowledge his [the] depths they were split open and clouds they dripped dew.

21 [My] son, let [them] not pass from [you], but keep my counsel and understanding:

O son my may not they depart from eyes your keep sound wisdom and discretion.

22 that your soul may live, and that there may be grace round your neck; and it shall be health to your flesh, and safety to your bones:

So they may be life for self your and grace for neck your.

23 that you may go confidently in peace in all your ways, and that your foot may not stumble.

Then you will walk to security way your and foot your not it will strike.

24 For if you rest, you shall be undismayed; and if you sleep, you shall slumber sweetly.

If you will lie down not you will fear and you will lie down and it will be pleasing sleep your.

25 And you shall not be afraid of alarm coming upon you, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.

May not you be afraid from terror suddenly and from [the] devastation of wicked [people] that it will come.

26 For the Lord shall be over all your ways, and shall establish your foot that you be not moved.

For Yahweh he will be confidence your and he will keep foot your from capture.

27 Forbear not to do good to the poor, whenever your hand may have [power] to help [him].

May not you withhold good from owners its when belongs to [the] power of (hand your *QK) to do [it].

28 Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while you are able to do [him] good: for you know not what the next day will bring forth.

May not you say (to neighbor your *QK) go and come back and tomorrow I will give [it] and there is with you.

29 Devise not evil against your friend, living near you and trusting in you.

May not you devise on neighbor your harm and he [is] dwelling to security with you.

30 Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do you some harm.

May not (you contend *Qk) with anyone without cause if not he has dealt out to you evil.

31 Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do you covet their ways.

May not you be jealous of a person of violence and may not you choose all ways his.

32 For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.

For [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh a crooked [person] and [is] with upright [people] intimacy his.

33 The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.

[the] curse of Yahweh [is] on [the] house of [the] wicked and [the] habitation of righteous [people] he blesses.

34 The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.

Though mockers he he mocks (and to humble [people] *QK) he gives favor.

35 The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted [their own] dishonor.

Honor wise [people] they will inherit and fools [is] lifting up shame.
