Proverbs 3:1-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
My son, do not forget my teaching,
But have your heart comply with my commandments;
2
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
3
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4
So you will find favor and a good reputation
In the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in the
Lord
with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
7
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the
Lord
and turn away from evil.
8
It will be healing to your body
And refreshment to your bones.
9
Honor the
Lord
from your wealth,
And from the first of all your produce;
10
Then your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11
My son, do not reject the discipline of the
Lord
Or loathe His rebuke,
12
For whom the
Lord
loves He disciplines,
Just
as a father
disciplines
the son in whom he delights.
King James Version
Chapter 3
1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in the
Lord
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the
Lord
, and depart from evil.
8
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9
Honour the
Lord
with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11
My son, despise not the chastening of the
Lord
; neither be weary of his correction:
12
For whom the
Lord
loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

1
My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
Store my commands in your heart.

If you do this, you will live many years,
and your life will be satisfying.

Then you will find favor with both God and people,
and you will earn a good reputation.
5
Trust in the
Lord
with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
7
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the
Lord
and turn away from evil.
8
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.
9
Honor the
Lord
with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce.
10
Then he will fill your barns with grain,
and your vats will overflow with good wine.
11
My child, don’t reject the
Lord
’s discipline,
and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
12
For the
Lord
corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.
