Proverbs 3:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.

³ Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart.^(A)

⁴ So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.^(B)
