Proverbs 3
3
1My son, forget not my law; but let youi heart keep my commandments:
2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to youi.
3Let not mercy and tforsake youi: bind them about youi neck; write them upon the table of youi heart:
4So shall youi find favour and good understanding in the sight of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] and man.
5Trust in the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with all youi heart; and lean not unto youi own understanding.
6In all youi ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct youi paths.
7Be not wise in youi own eyes: fear the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and depart from evil.
8It shall be health to youi navel, and marrow to youi bones.
9Honour the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with youi substance, and with the firstfruits of all youi increase:
10So shall youi barns be filled with plenty, and youi presses shall burst out with new wine.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; neither be weary of his correction:
12For whom the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] loves he corrects; even as a father the son [in whom] he delights.
13Happy [is] the man [that] finds wisdom, and the man [that] gets understanding.
14For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things youi can desire are not to be compared unto her.
16Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.
17Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
18She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retains her.
19The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21My son, let not them depart from youi eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22So shall they be life unto youi soul, and grace to youi neck.
23Then shall youi walk in youi way safely, and youi foot shall not stumble.
24When youi lay down, youi shall not be afraid: yea, youi shall lie down, and youi sleep shall be sweet.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26For the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] shall be youi confidence, and shall keep youi foot from being taken.
27Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of youri hand to do [it].
28Say not unto youri neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when youi have it by youi.
29Devise not evil against youi neighbour, seeing he dwells securely by youi.
30Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done youi no harm.
31Envy youi not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32For the perverse (twisted) [habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition] [is] abomination to the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: but his secret [is] with the righteous.
33The curse of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesses the habitation of the just.
34Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace unto the lowly.
35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
