Proverbs 3:1-8

21st Century King James Version

3 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 tablet of thine heart.

⁴ So shalt thou find favor 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 flesh and marrow to thy bones.
