King James Version    American Standard Version    Chinese Union Version    New International Version   
3:1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
3:2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3:3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
3:4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
3:5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
3:6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
3:8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
3:9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
3:10  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
3:12  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
3:13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
3:14  For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
3:15  She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
3:16  Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
3:17  Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
3:18  She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
3:19  The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
3:20  By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
3:21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
3:22  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
3:23  Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
3:24  When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
3:25  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
3:26  For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
3:27  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
3:28  Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
3:29  Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
3:30  Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
3:31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
3:32  For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
3:33  The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
3:34  Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
3:35  The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
