Trust in the Lord(A) with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths(B) straight.[a](C)

Do not be wise in your own eyes;(D)
    fear the Lord(E) and shun evil.(F)
This will bring health to your body(G)
    and nourishment to your bones.(H)

Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits(I) of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled(J) to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.(K)

11 My son,(L) do not despise the Lord’s discipline,(M)
    and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,(N)
    as a father the son he delights in.[b](O)

  1. Proverbs 3:6 Or will direct your paths
  2. Proverbs 3:12 Hebrew; Septuagint loves, / and he chastens everyone he accepts as his child

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.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.(A)

It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.

Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income;(B)

10 So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.(C)

11 My son, do not despise or shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof,(D)

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Trust Yahweh with all your heart,
    and do not rely on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make your paths smooth.[a]
Do not consider yourself wise.
    Fear Yahweh, and turn away from evil.
Then your body will be healed,
    and your bones will have nourishment.

Honor Yahweh with your wealth
    and with the first and best part of all your income.[b]
10 Then your barns will be full,
    and your vats will overflow with fresh wine.

11 Do not reject the discipline of Yahweh, my son,
    and do not resent his warning,
12 because Yahweh warns the one he loves,
    even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.

  1. Proverbs 3:6 Or “straight.”
  2. Proverbs 3:9 Or “harvest.”

With all your heart
you must trust the Lord
    and not your own judgment.
Always let him lead you,
and he will clear the road
    for you to follow.
(A) Don't ever think that you
    are wise enough,
but respect the Lord
    and stay away from evil.
This will make you healthy,
    and you will feel strong.
Honor the Lord by giving him
your money and the first part
    of all your crops.
10 Then you will have
more grain and grapes
    than you will ever need.

11 (B)(C) My child, don't turn away
or become bitter
    when the Lord corrects you.
12 (D) The Lord corrects
    everyone he loves,
just as parents correct
    a child they dearly love.
