Proverbs 3:1-8
New American Standard Bible 1995

The Rewards of Wisdom

3 My son, (A)do not forget my [a]teaching,
But let your heart (B)keep my commandments;
2 For (C)length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
3 Do not let (D)kindness and truth leave you;
(E)Bind them around your neck,
(F)Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will (G)find favor and (H)good [b]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.
6 In all your ways (K)acknowledge Him,
And He will (L)make your paths straight.
7 (M)Do not be wise in your own eyes;
(N)Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 It will be (O)healing to your [c]body
And (P)refreshment to your bones.

Proverbs 3:11-12
New American Standard Bible 1995

11 (A)My son, do not reject the [a]discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
12 For (B)whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even (C)as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:21-26
New American Standard Bible 1995

21 My son, (A)let them not [a]vanish from your sight;
Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 So they will be (B)life to your soul
And (C)adornment to your neck.
23 Then you will (D)walk in your way securely
And your foot will not (E)stumble.
24 When you (F)lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 (G)Do not be afraid of sudden fear
Nor of the [b](H)onslaught of the wicked when it comes;
26 For the Lord will be [c]your confidence
And will (I)keep your foot from being caught.
