Proverbs 3:10-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
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.
13
Blessed is a person who finds wisdom,
And one who obtains understanding.
14
For her profit is better than the profit of silver,
And her produce better than gold.
15
She is more precious than jewels,
And nothing you desire compares with her.
16
Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.
17
Her ways are pleasant ways,
And all her paths are peace.
18
She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are those who hold on to her.
19
The
Lord
founded the earth by wisdom,
He established the heavens by understanding.
20
By His knowledge the ocean depths were burst open,
And the clouds drip with dew.
21
My son,
see that
they do not escape from your sight;
Comply with sound wisdom and discretion,
22
And they will be life to your soul
And adornment to your neck.
23
Then you will walk in your way securely,
And your foot will not stumble.
24
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25
Do not be afraid of sudden danger,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26
For the
Lord
will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.
27
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do
it.
28
Do not say to your neighbor, 'Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give
it to you,
'
When you have it with you.
29
Do not devise harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.
King James Version
Chapter 3
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.
13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19
The
Lord
by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26
For the
Lord
shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
10
then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11
Do not despise the
Lord
’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe his discipline;
12
for the
Lord
disciplines the one he loves,
just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
13
Happy is a man who finds wisdom
and who acquires understanding,
14
for she is more profitable than silver,
and her revenue is better than gold.
15
She is more precious than jewels;
nothing you desire can equal her.
16
Long life is in her right hand;
in her left, riches and honor.
17
Her ways are pleasant,
and all her paths, peaceful.
18
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her,
and those who hold on to her are happy.
19
The
Lord
founded the earth by wisdom
and established the heavens by understanding.
20
By his knowledge the watery depths broke open,
and the clouds dripped with dew.
21
Maintain sound wisdom and discretion.
My son, don’t lose sight of them.
22
They will be life for you
and adornment for your neck.
23
Then you will go safely on your way;
your foot will not stumble.
24
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
25
Don’t fear sudden danger
or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,
26
for the
Lord
will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from a snare.
27
When it is in your power,
don’t withhold good from the one to whom it belongs.
28
Don’t say to your neighbor, "Go away! Come back later.
I’ll give it tomorrow"—when it is there with you.
29
Don’t plan any harm against your neighbor,
for he trusts you and lives near you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
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.
13
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding.
14
For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better than gold.
15
Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16
She offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in her left.
17
She will guide you down delightful paths;
all her ways are satisfying.
18
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
happy are those who hold her tightly.
19
By wisdom the
Lord
founded the earth;
by understanding he created the heavens.
20
By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
and the dew settles beneath the night sky.
21
My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
Hang on to them,
22
for they will refresh your soul.
They are like jewels on a necklace.
23
They keep you safe on your way,
and your feet will not stumble.
24
You can go to bed without fear;
you will lie down and sleep soundly.
25
You need not be afraid of sudden disaster
or the destruction that comes upon the wicked,
26
for the
Lord
is your security.
He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
27
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
when it’s in your power to help them.
28
If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,
'Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.'
29
Don’t plot harm against your neighbor,
for those who live nearby trust you.
English Standard Version

then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.

My son, do not despise the
Lord
's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12
for the
Lord
reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14
for the gain from her is better than gain from silver

Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.

Lord
by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding he established the heavens;

keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22
and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.

Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
24
If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,

for the
Lord
will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.

or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26
for the
Lord
will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared.

who lives trustfully near you.

Length of days
is
in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.

Her ways
are
ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths
are
peace.

She
is
a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy

Lord
by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;

Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22
So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23
Then you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.
24
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26
For the
Lord
will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.
27
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do
so.
