Proverbs 3:1-8

Complete Jewish Bible

3 My son, don’t forget my teaching,
keep my commands in your heart;
² for they will add to you many days,
years of life and peace.

³ Do not let grace and truth leave you —
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Then you will win favor and esteem
in the sight of God and of people.

⁵ Trust in Adonai with all your heart;
do not rely on your own understanding.
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him;
then he will level your paths.

⁷ Don’t be conceited about your own wisdom;
but fear Adonai, and turn from evil.
⁸ This will bring health to your body
and give strength to your bones.
