Proverbs - Chapter: 3


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


3:1	My sonne, forget not thou my lawe, but se that thyne hert kepe my commaundementes.
3:2	For they shall prolonge the dayes & yeres of thy lyfe, and bringe the peace.
3:3	Let mercy and faythfulnes neuer go from the: bynde them about thy necke, and wryte them in the tables of thyne herte.
3:4	So shalt thou fynde fauour & good vnderstanding, in the syght of God and men.
3:5	Put thy trust in God with all thyne herte: and leane not vnto thyne awne witte.
3:6	In all thy wayes haue respecte vnto hym: & shall order thy goynges.
3:7	Be not wyse in thyne awne conceate: but feare the Lorde, and departe from euell:
3:8	so shall thy nauell be whole, and thy bones stronge.
3:9	Honoure the Lord wt thy substaunce: and with thy firstlinges of all thyne encrease
3:10	so shall thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse: and thy presses shall flowe ouer with swete wyne.
3:11	My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde, nether faynte when thou art rebuked of hym.
3:12	For whom the Lorde loueth, hym he chasteneth, and yet deliteth in him, euen as a father in his awne sonne.
3:13	Well is him that findeth wysdome, and opteyneth vnderstandinge:
3:14	for the getting of it is better then any marchaundise of syluer, and the profet of it is better then golde.
3:15	Wysdome is more worth then precious stones: and all the thinges that thou canst desire are not to be compared vnto her.
3:16	Upon her ryght hande is longe lyfe, and vpon her left hande is riches and honour.
3:17	Her wayes are pleasaunt wayes and all her pathes are peaceable.
3:18	She is a tree of lyfe to them that laye hold vpon her, and blessed is he that kepeth her fast.
3:19	With wysdome hath the Lorde layed the foundacion of the erth: and thorowe vnderstandinge hath he stablyshed the heauens.
3:20	Thorowe his wisdome the deapthes breake vp, and the cloudes droppe downe the dew.
3:21	My sonne, let not these thynges departe, from thyne eyes: but kepe my lawe and my councell,
3:22	that thou mayest haue the pleasure of longe lyfe and vnderstandynge: for they shalbe lyfe vnto my soule, & grace vnto my mouth.
3:23	Then shalt thou walke safely in thy waye: and thy fote shall not stomble.
3:24	If thou slepest, thou shalt nott be afrayed: but shalt take thy rest, and slepe swetely.
3:25	Thou nedest not to be afrayed of any soden feare, nether for the vyolent russhynge in of the vngodly when it commeth.
3:26	For the Lorde shall stonde by thy syde, and kepe thy fote, that thou be not taken.
3:27	Withdrawe no good thinge from them that haue nede, so longe as thyne hand is able to do it.
3:28	Saye not vnto thy neyghboure: go thy waye, & come agayne, to morowe wyll I geue the:
3:29	where as thou haste nowe to geue hym. Intende no hurte vnto thy neyghboure, seynge he dothe dwell in reest by the.
3:30	Stryue not lyghtely with anye man without cause, where as he hathe done the no harme.
3:31	Folowe not a wicked man, and chose none of hys wayes:
3:32	for the Lorde abhorreth the frowarde: but hys councell is amonge the ryghteous.
3:33	The curse of the Lorde is in the house of the vngodly: but he blesseth the dwellynges of the ryghteous.
3:34	As for the scornefull dothe not he laugh them to scorne? but he geueth grace vnto the lowly.
3:35	The wise shall haue honour in possession: but shame is the promocion that foles shall haue.
