Proverbs 3:1-12 (NKJV)
My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.5 TRUST in the LORD with ALL your heart,And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In ALL your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and DEPART from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh,And strength to your bones.9 HONOR the LORD with your possessions, And with the first fruits of all your increase; 10 SO your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,Nor detest His correction; 12 For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
