Proverbs 3 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

For length ^H753 of days ^H3117 and years ^H8141 of life ^H2416

And peace ^H7965 they will add ^H3254 to you.

Do not let lovingkindness ^H2617 and truth ^H571 forsake ^H5800 you;

Bind ^H7194 them around ^H5921 your neck ^H1621,

Write ^H3789 them on the tablet ^H3871 of your heart ^H3820.

So you will find ^H4672 favor ^H2580 and good ^H2896 insight ^H7922

In the eyes ^H5869 of God ^H430 and man ^H120.

Trust ^H982 in Yahweh ^H3068 with all ^H3605 your heart ^H3820

And do not lean ^H8172 on your own understanding ^H998.

In all ^H3605 your ways ^H1870 [fn]acknowledge ^H3045 Him,

And He will make ^H3474 your paths ^H734 straight ^H3474.

Do not be wise ^H2450 in your own eyes ^H5869;

Fear ^H3372 Yahweh ^H3068 and turn ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451.

It will be healing ^H7500 to your [fn]body ^H8270

And refreshment ^H8250 to your bones ^H6106.

Honor ^H3513 Yahweh ^H3068 from your wealth ^H1952

And from the first ^H7225 of all ^H3605 your produce ^H8393;

So your barns ^H618 will be filled ^H4390 with plenty ^H7647

And your vats ^H3342 will burst ^H6555 with new ^H8492 wine ^H8492.

My son ^H1121, do not reject ^H3988 the [fn]discipline ^H4148 of Yahweh ^H3068

Or loathe ^H6973 His reproof ^H8433,

For whom ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 loves ^H157 He reproves ^H3198,

Even as a father ^H1 reproves the son ^H1121 in whom he delights ^H7521.

How blessed ^H835 is the man ^H120 who finds ^H4672 wisdom ^H2451

And the man ^H120 who obtains ^H6329 discernment ^H8394.

For her profit ^H5504 is better ^H2896 than ^H4480 the profit ^H5504 of silver ^H3701

And her produce ^H8393 better than ^H4480 fine ^H2742 gold ^H2742.

She is more ^H4480 precious ^H3368 than ^H4480 [fn]pearls ^H6443;

And nothing ^H3605 H3808 you desire ^H2656 compares ^H7737 with her.

Length ^H753 of days ^H3117 is in her right ^H3225 hand ^H3225;

In her left ^H8040 hand ^H8040 are riches ^H6239 and glory ^H3519.

Her ways ^H1870 are pleasant ^H5278 ways ^H1870

And all ^H3605 her pathways ^H5410 are peace ^H7965.

She is a tree ^H6086 of life ^H2416 to those who seize ^H2388 her,

And all those who hold ^H8551 her fast ^H8551 are blessed ^H833.

Yahweh ^H3068 by wisdom ^H2451 founded ^H3245 the earth ^H776,

By discernment ^H8394 He established ^H3559 the heavens ^H8064.

By His knowledge ^H1847 the deeps ^H8415 were split ^H1234 up ^H1234

And the skies ^H7834 drip ^H7491 with dew ^H2919.

My son ^H1121, let them not deviate ^H3868 from your eyes ^H5869;

Guard ^H5341 sound ^H8454 wisdom ^H8454 and discretion ^H4209,

So they will be life ^H2416 for your soul ^H5315

And grace ^H2580 for your neck ^H1621.

Then ^H227 you will walk ^H1980 in your way ^H1870 securely ^H983

And your foot ^H7272 will not stumble ^H5062.

When ^H518 you lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, you will not be ^H6342 in ^H6342 dread ^H6342;

You will lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, and your sleep ^H8142 will be pleasant ^H6149.

Do not be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 of sudden ^H6597 dread ^H6343

Nor ^H408 of the storm ^H7722 of the wicked ^H7563 when ^H3588 it comes ^H935;

For Yahweh ^H3068 will be [fn]your confidence ^H3689

And will keep ^H8104 your foot ^H7272 from being caught ^H3921.

Do not withhold ^H4513 good ^H2896 from [fn]those ^H1167 to ^H1167 whom ^H1167 it is ^H1167 due ^H1167,

When it is in your hand ^H3027 to do ^H6213 it.

Do not say ^H559 to your neighbor ^H7453, “Go ^H1980, and come ^H7725 back ^H7725,

And tomorrow ^H4279 I will give ^H5414 it,”

When it is ^H3426 there ^H3426 with you.

Do not devise ^H2790 [fn]harm ^H7451 against ^H5921 your neighbor ^H7453,

While he lives ^H3427 securely ^H983 beside ^H854 you.

Do not contend ^H7378 with a man ^H120 without ^H2600 cause ^H2600,

If ^H518 he has dealt ^H1580 you no ^H3808 [fn]harm ^H7451.

Do not envy ^H7065 a man ^H376 of violence ^H2555

And do not choose ^H977 any ^H3605 of his ways ^H1870.

For the devious ^H3868 one ^H3868 is an abomination ^H8441 to Yahweh ^H3068;

But His secret ^H5475 council ^H5475 is with the upright ^H3477.

The curse ^H3994 of Yahweh ^H3068 is on the house ^H1004 of the wicked ^H7563 one ^H7563,

But He blesses ^H1288 the abode ^H5116 of the righteous ^H6662.

Though ^H518 He scoffs ^H3887 at the scoffers ^H3887,

Yet He gives ^H5414 grace ^H2580 to the humble ^H6035.

The wise ^H2450 will inherit ^H5157 glory ^H3519,

But [fn]fools ^H3684 raise ^H7311 up ^H7311 disgrace ^H7036.
