Proverbs 3:5-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not rely on your own insight.^(A)
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.^(B)
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and turn away from evil.^(C)
8 It will be a healing for your flesh
    and a refreshment for your body.^(D)

⁹ Honor the Lord with your substance
    and with the first fruits of all your produce;^(E)
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
    and your vats will be bursting with wine.

¹¹ My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
    or be weary of his reproof,^(F)
12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,
    as a father the son in whom he delights.^(G)
