Proverbs 3:9-10
Amplified Bible
9
Honor the Lord with your wealth
And with the first fruits of all your crops (income);(A)
10
Then your barns will be abundantly filled
And your vats will overflow with new wine.(B)
Proverbs 3:9-12
The Message
5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this.

11
My son, do not reject or take lightly the discipline of the Lord [learn from your mistakes and the testing that comes from His correction through discipline];
Nor despise His rebuke,(C)
12
For those whom the Lord loves He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
