| |
| | Pro 3:2 | For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to you.
| |
| | Pro 3:3 | Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
| |

| | Pro 3:10 | So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
| |
| | Pro 3:11 | My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:

| |
| | Pro 3:13 | Happy is the man who finds wisdom, The man who gets understanding.

| |
| | Pro 3:22 | So they will be life to your soul, And grace for your neck.
| |
| | Pro 3:23 | Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won't stumble.
| |
| | Pro 3:24 | When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
| |
| | Pro 3:25 | Don't be afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:
| |
| | Pro 3:26 | For Yahweh will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being taken.
| |
| | Pro 3:27 | Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do it.

| |
| | Pro 3:29 | Don't devise evil against your neighbor, Seeing he dwells securely by you.
| |
| | Pro 3:30 | Don't strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.
| |
| | Pro 3:31 | Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
| |
| | Pro 3:32 | For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, But his friendship is with the upright.
| |
| | Pro 3:33 | Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, But he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
| |
| | Pro 3:34 | Surely he mocks the mockers, But he gives grace to the humble.
| |
| | Pro 3:35 | The wise will inherit glory, But shame will be the promotion of fools.
