Proverbs 3:5-11
New King James Version
5 (A)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
(B)And lean not on your own understanding;
6 (C)In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [a]direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own (D)eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your [b]flesh,
And (E)strength[c] to your bones.
9 (F)Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 (G)So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 (H)My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
