Bible. Proverbs
20:003:002 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add
to thee.
20:003:003 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy
neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
20:003:004 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight
of God and man.
20:003:005 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding.
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.
