- My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity. - Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
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 submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight. - Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones. - Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops. - My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in. - Blessed are those who find wisdom,
those who gain understanding. - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act. - Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.Next verse!With image
