Proverbs 3:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for they will provide a long and full life, and they will add well-being to you.
3 Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8 This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self.
9 Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled completely, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My child, do not despise discipline from the LORD, and do not loathe his rebuke.
12 For the LORD disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who obtains understanding.
14 For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are very pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.
19 By wisdom the LORD laid the foundation of the earth; he established the heavens by understanding.
20 By his knowledge the primordial sea was broken open, and the clouds drip down dew.
21 My child, do not let them escape from your sight; safeguard sound wisdom and discretion.
22 So they will give life to you, and grace to adorn your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way with security, and you will not stumble.
24 When you lie down you will not be filled with fear; when you lie down your sleep will be pleasant.
25 You will not be afraid of sudden disaster, or when destruction overtakes the wicked;
26 for the LORD will be the source of your confidence, and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.
27 Do not withhold good from those who need it, when you have the ability to help.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it," when you have it with you at the time.
29 Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.
30 Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.
31 Do not envy a violent man, and do not choose to imitate any of his ways;
32 for one who goes astray is an abomination to the LORD, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.
33 The LORD's curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 Although he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, yet he shows favor to the humble.
35 The wise inherit honor, but he holds fools up to public contempt.
1 My son, H1121 forget H7911 not H408 my law; H8451 but let thine heart H3820 keep H5341 my commandments: H4687
2 For H3588 length H753 of days, H3117 and long H8141 life, H2416 and peace, H7965 shall they add H3254 to thee.
3 Let not H408 mercy H2617 and truth H571 forsake H5800 thee: bind H7194 them about H5921 thy neck; H1621 write H3789 them upon H5921 the table H3871 of thine heart: H3820
4 So shalt thou find H4672 favor H2580 and good H2896 understanding H7922 in the sight H5869 of God H430 and man. H120
5 Trust H982 in H413 the LORD H3068 with all H3605 thine heart; H3820 and lean H8172 not H408 unto H413 thine own understanding. H998
6 In all H3605 thy ways H1870 acknowledge H3045 him , and he H1931 shall direct H3474 thy paths. H734
7 Be H1961 not H408 wise H2450 in thine own eyes: H5869 fear H3372 H853 the LORD, H3068 and depart H5493 from evil H4480 H7451 .
8 It shall be H1961 health H7500 to thy navel, H8270 and marrow H8250 to thy bones. H6106
9 Honor H3513 H853 the LORD H3068 with thy substance H4480 H1952 , and with the firstfruits H4480 H7225 of all H3605 thine increase: H8393
10 So shall thy barns H618 be filled H4390 with plenty, H7647 and thy presses H3342 shall burst out H6555 with new wine. H8492
11 My son, H1121 despise H3988 not H408 the chastening H4148 of the LORD; H3068 neither H408 be weary H6973 of his correction: H8433
12 For H3588 H853 whom H834 the LORD H3068 loveth H157 he correcteth; H3198 even as a father H1 H853 the son H1121 in whom he delighteth. H7521
13 Happy H835 is the man H120 that findeth H4672 wisdom, H2451 and the man H120 that getteth H6329 understanding. H8394
14 For H3588 the merchandise H5504 of it is better H2896 than the merchandise H4480 H5505 of silver, H3701 and the gain H8393 thereof than fine gold H4480 H2742 .
15 She H1931 is more precious H3368 than rubies H4480 H6443 : and all H3605 the things thou canst desire H2656 are not H3808 to be compared H7737 unto her.
16 Length H753 of days H3117 is in her right hand; H3225 and in her left hand H8040 riches H6239 and honor. H3519
17 Her ways H1870 are ways H1870 of pleasantness, H5278 and all H3605 her paths H5410 are peace. H7965
18 She H1931 is a tree H6086 of life H2416 to them that lay hold H2388 upon her : and happy H833 is every one that retaineth H8551 her.
19 The LORD H3068 by wisdom H2451 hath founded H3245 the earth; H776 by understanding H8394 hath he established H3559 the heavens. H8064
20 By his knowledge H1847 the depths H8415 are broken up, H1234 and the clouds H7834 drop down H7491 the dew. H2919
21 My son, H1121 let not H408 them depart H3868 from thine eyes H4480 H5869 : keep H5341 sound wisdom H8454 and discretion: H4209
22 So shall they be H1961 life H2416 unto thy soul, H5315 and grace H2580 to thy neck. H1621
23 Then H227 shalt thou walk H1980 in thy way H1870 safely, H983 and thy foot H7272 shall not H3808 stumble. H5062
24 When H518 thou liest down, H7901 thou shalt not H3808 be afraid: H6342 yea , thou shalt lie down, H7901 and thy sleep H8142 shall be sweet. H6149
25 Be not H408 afraid H3372 of sudden H6597 fear H4480 H6343 , neither of the desolation H4480 H7722 of the wicked, H7563 when H3588 it cometh. H935
26 For H3588 the LORD H3068 shall be H1961 thy confidence, H3689 and shall keep H8104 thy foot H7272 from being taken H4480 H3921 .
27 Withhold H4513 not H408 good H2896 from them to whom it is due H4480 H1167 , when it is H1961 in the power H410 of thine hand H3027 to do H6213 it .
28 Say H559 not H408 unto thy neighbor, H7453 Go, H1980 and come again, H7725 and tomorrow H4279 I will give; H5414 when thou hast H3426 it by H854 thee.
29 Devise H2790 not H408 evil H7451 against H5921 thy neighbor, H7453 seeing he H1931 dwelleth H3427 securely H983 by H854 thee.
30 Strive H7378 not H408 with H5973 a man H120 without cause, H2600 if H518 he have done H1580 thee no H3808 harm. H7451
31 Envy H7065 thou not H408 the oppressor H376 H2555 , and choose H977 none H408 H3605 of his ways. H1870
32 For H3588 the froward H3868 is abomination H8441 to the LORD: H3068 but his secret H5475 is with H854 the righteous. H3477
33 The curse H3994 of the LORD H3068 is in the house H1004 of the wicked: H7563 but he blesseth H1288 the habitation H5116 of the just. H6662
34 Surely H518 he H1931 scorneth H3887 the scorners: H3887 but he giveth H5414 grace H2580 unto the lowly. H6035
35 The wise H2450 shall inherit H5157 glory: H3519 but shame H7036 shall be the promotion H7311 of fools. H3684
