20:003:006 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy
paths.
20:003:007 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear
the lord, and depart from
evil.
20:003:008 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
20:003:009 Honour the lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits
of
all thine increase:
20:003:010 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses
shall
burst out with new wine.
20:003:011 My son, despise not the chastening of the
lord; neither be
weary
of his correction:
20:003:012 For whom the lord loveth he correcteth;
even as a father the
son
in whom he delighteth.
20:003:013 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and
the man that getteth
understanding.
20:003:014 For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of
silver,
and the gain thereof than fine gold.
20:003:015 She is more precious than rubies:
and all the things thou
canst
desire are not to be compared unto her.
20:003:016 Length of days is in her right hand; and
in her left hand
riches
and honour.
20:003:017 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and
all her paths are
peace.
20:003:018 She is a tree of life to them that lay
hold upon her: and
happy
is every one that retaineth her.
20:003:019 The lord by wisdom hath founded the
earth; by understanding
hath
he established the heavens.
20:003:020 By his knowledge the depths are broken
up, and the clouds drop
down
the dew.
20:003:021 My son, let not them depart from thine
eyes: keep sound wisdom
and
discretion:
20:003:022 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
20:003:023 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
and thy foot shall not
stumble.
20:003:024 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be
afraid: yea, thou
shalt
lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
20:003:025 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of
the desolation of the
wicked,
when it cometh.
20:003:026 For the lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot
from
being taken.
20:003:027 Withhold not good from them to whom it
is due, when it is in
the
power of thine hand to do it.
20:003:028 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come
again, and to morrow
I
will give; when thou hast it by thee.
20:003:029 Devise not evil against thy neighbour,
seeing he dwelleth
securely
by thee.
20:003:030 Strive not with a man without cause, if
he have done thee no
harm.
