Proverbs 3 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Rewards of Wisdom

Pro 3:1

Pro 3:1My son, do not forget my [fn]teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;

Pro 3:2

Pro 3:2For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.

Pro 3:3

Pro 3:3Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Pro 3:4

Pro 3:4So you will find favor and good [fn]repute
In the sight of God and man.

Pro 3:5

Pro 3:5Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.

Pro 3:6

Pro 3:6In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Pro 3:7

Pro 3:7Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.

Pro 3:8

Pro 3:8It will be healing to your [fn]body
And refreshment to your bones.

Pro 3:9

Pro 3:9Honor the LORD from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;

Pro 3:10

Pro 3:10So your barns will be filled with plenty
And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Pro 3:11

Pro 3:11My son, do not reject the [fn]discipline of the LORD
Or loathe His reproof,

Pro 3:12

Pro 3:12For whom the LORD loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Pro 3:13

Pro 3:13How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who gains understanding.

Pro 3:14

Pro 3:14For her profit is better than the profit of silver
And her gain better than fine gold.

Pro 3:15

Pro 3:15She is more precious than [fn]jewels;
And nothing you desire compares with her.

Pro 3:16

Pro 3:16 [fn]Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.

Pro 3:17

Pro 3:17Her ways are pleasant ways
And all her paths are peace.

Pro 3:18

Pro 3:18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who hold her fast.

Pro 3:19

Pro 3:19The LORD by wisdom founded the earth,
By understanding He established the heavens.

Pro 3:20

Pro 3:20By His knowledge the deeps were broken up
And the skies drip with dew.

Pro 3:21

Pro 3:21My son, let them not [fn]vanish from your sight;
Keep sound wisdom and discretion,

Pro 3:22

Pro 3:22So they will be life to your soul
And adornment to your neck.

Pro 3:23

Pro 3:23Then you will walk in your way securely
And your foot will not stumble.

Pro 3:24

Pro 3:24When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Pro 3:25

Pro 3:25Do not be afraid of sudden fear
Nor of the [fn]onslaught of the wicked when it comes;

Pro 3:26

Pro 3:26For the LORD will be [fn]your confidence
And will keep your foot from being caught.

Pro 3:27

Pro 3:27Do not withhold good from [fn]those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do it.

Pro 3:28

Pro 3:28Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.

Pro 3:29

Pro 3:29Do not devise harm against your neighbor,
While he lives securely beside you.

Pro 3:30

Pro 3:30Do not contend with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.

Pro 3:31

Pro 3:31Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.

Pro 3:32

Pro 3:32For the devious are an abomination to the LORD;
But [fn]He is intimate with the upright.

Pro 3:33

Pro 3:33The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the dwelling of the righteous.

Pro 3:34

Pro 3:34Though He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet He gives grace to the afflicted.

Pro 3:35

Pro 3:35The wise will inherit honor,
But fools [fn]display dishonor.
