Proverbs 3:9-10

9 (A)Honor Yahweh from your wealth
And from the (B)first of all your produce;
10 So your (C)barns will be filled with plenty
And your (D)vats will burst with new wine.
Proverbs 8:12-21
Legacy Standard Bible
12 “I, wisdom, (A)dwell with prudence,
And I find (B)knowledge and discretion.
13 The (C)fear of Yahweh is to hate evil;
(D)Pride and arrogance and (E)the evil way
And the mouth of [a](F)perverted words, I hate.
14 (G)Counsel is mine and (H)sound wisdom;
I am understanding, (I)might is mine.
15 By me (J)kings reign,
And rulers mark out righteousness.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles,
All who judge rightly.
17 I (K)love those who love me;
And (L)those who earnestly seek me will find me.
18 (M)Riches and glory are with me,
Enduring (N)wealth and righteousness.
19 My fruit is (O)better than fine gold, even pure gold,
And my produce better than (P)choice silver.
20 I walk in the path of righteousness,
In the midst of the pathways of justice,
21 To give those who love me an inheritance of wealth,
That I may (Q)fill their treasuries.
