My Sons. Pro 3:1 My son, do not forget my Torah, And let your heart watch over my commands; Pro 3:2 For length of days and long life And peace they add to you. Pro 3:3 Let not kindness and truth forsake you – Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, Pro 3:4 Thus finding favour and good insight In the eyes of Elohim and man. Pro 3:5 Trust in יהוה with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Pro 3:6 Know Him in all your ways, And He makes all your paths straight. Pro 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes1; Fear יהוה and turn away from evil2. Footnotes: 1Isa. 5:21 2Job 28:28. Pro 3:8 It is healing to your navel, And moistening to your bones. Pro 3:9 Esteem יהוה with your goods, And with the first-fruits of all your increase; Pro 3:10 Then your storehouses shall be filled with plenty, And your vats overflow with new wine. Pro 3:11 My son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, And do not loathe His reproof; Pro 3:12 For whom יהוה loves He reproves, As a father the son whom he delights in1. Footnote: 1Verses 11 - 12 are quoted in Heb. 12:5-6. Pro 3:13 Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, And the man who gets understanding; Pro 3:14 For the gain from it is better Than gain from silver, And its increase than fine gold. Pro 3:15 She is more precious than rubies, And all your delights are not comparable to her. Pro 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand, Riches and esteem in her left hand. Pro 3:17 Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are peace. Pro 3:18 She is a tree of life to those taking hold of her, And blessed are all who retain her. Pro 3:19 יהוה founded the earth by wisdom; He established the heavens by understanding; Pro 3:20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down dew. Pro 3:21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes; Watch over sound wisdom and discretion; Pro 3:22 Then they become life to your being And an adorning to your neck. Pro 3:23 Then you would walk safely in your way, And your foot would not stumble. Pro 3:24 When you lie down, you need not be afraid. And you shall lie down and your sleep shall be sweet. Pro 3:25 Do not be afraid of sudden dread, Nor of the ruin of the wrong when it comes; Pro 3:26 For יהוה is at your side, And He shall guard your foot from being caught. Pro 3:27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. Pro 3:28 Do not say to your neighbour, “Go, and come back, and tomorrow I give it,” When you have it with you. Pro 3:29 Do not plan evil against your neighbour, Seeing he dwells safely beside you. Pro 3:30 Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no evil. Pro 3:31 Do not envy a cruel man, And choose none of his ways; Pro 3:32 For the perverse one is an abomination to יהוה, And His secret counsel is with the straight. Pro 3:33 The curse of יהוה is on the house of the wrong, But He blesses the home of the righteous. Pro 3:34 He certainly scoffs the scoffers, But gives favour to the humble. Pro 3:35 The wise do inherit esteem, But fools are bearing away shame!
