Trust in the Lord with all your heart,(A)
and do not rely on your own understanding;(B)
think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths.[a](C)
Don’t consider yourself to be wise;(D)
fear the Lord and turn away from evil.(E)
This will be healing for your body[b](F)
and strengthening for your bones.(G)
Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest;(H)
10 then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.(I)
11 Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe His discipline;(J)
12 for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,
just as a father, the son he delights in.(K)
