My child, never forget the things I have taught you
Store my commands in your heart, for they will give you a long and satisfying life
Never let loyalty and kindness get away from you!
Wear them like a necklace; write them deep within your heart
Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will gain a good reputation
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding
Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths
Don't be impressed with your own wisdom
Instead, fear the LORD and turn your back on evil
Then you will gain renewed health and vitality
Honor the LORD with your wealth
And with the best part of everything your land produces
Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with the finest wine
My child, don't ignore it when the LORD disciplines you
And don't be discouraged when he corrects you
For the LORD corrects those he loves
Just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights
Happy is the person who finds wisdom and gains understanding
For the profit of wisdom is better than silver, and her wages are better than gold
Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her
She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left
She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly
By wisdom the LORD founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens
By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth
And the clouds poured down rain
My child, don't lose sight of good planning and insight
Hang on to them, for they fill you with life and bring you honor and respect
They keep you safe on your way and keep your feet from stumbling
You can lie down without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams
You need not be afraid of disaster or the destruction
That comes upon the wicked, for the LORD is your security
He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it's in your power to help them
If you can help your neighbor now, don't say
"Come back tomorrow, and then I'll help you"
Do not plot against your neighbors, for they trust you
Don't make accusations against someone who hasn't wronged you
Do not envy violent people; don't copy their ways
Such wicked people are an abomination to the LORD
But he offers his friendship to the godly
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked
But his blessing is on the home of the upright
The LORD mocks at mockers, but he shows favor to the humble
The wise inherit honor, but fools are put to shame
