Proverbs 3:1-8
World English Bible
3 My son, don’t forget my teaching;
but let your heart keep my commandments:
2 for they will add to you length of days,
years of life, and peace.
3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor,
and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes.
Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your body,
and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:1-8
American Standard Version
3 My son, forget not my [a]law;
But let thy heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and years of life,
And peace, will they add to thee.

Bind them about thy neck;
Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
4 So shalt thou find favor and [b]good understanding
In the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart,
And lean not upon thine own understanding:
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And he will [c]direct thy paths.

Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
8 It will be health to thy navel,
And [d]marrow to thy bones.

21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes.
Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 so they will be life to your soul,
and grace for your neck.
23 Then you shall walk in your way securely.
Your foot won’t stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid.
Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
26 for Yahweh will be your confidence,
and will keep your foot from being taken.

And [a]thy foot shall not stumble.

Neither of the [b]desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:

And will keep thy foot from being taken.
