Proverbs 3

The Rewards of Wisdom

    ¹My son, ^(A)do not forget my teaching,
         But let your heart ^(B)keep my commandments;
    ²For ^(C)length of days and years of life
         And peace they will add to you.
    ³Do not let ^(D)kindness and truth leave you;
         ^(E)Bind them around your neck,
         ^(F)Write them on the tablet of your heart.
    ⁴So you will ^(G)find favor and ^(H)good repute
         In the sight of God and man.
    ^5(I)Trust in the LORD with all your heart
         And ^(J)do not lean on your own understanding.
    ⁶In all your ways ^(K)acknowledge Him,
         And He will ^(L)make your paths straight.
