Proverbs

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
3
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
3
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
3
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
3
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
3
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
3
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
3
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
3
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
3
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
3
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
3
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
3
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
3
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
3
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
3
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
3
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
2
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
2
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
2
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
2
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
2
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
2
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
2
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
2
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
2
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
2
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
2
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
