A Father’s Teaching
Proverbs 3:1-35
1
My
son,
do
not
forget
my
teaching,
but
let
your
heart
keep
my
commandments;
2
for
length
of
days
and
years
of
life
and
peace
they
will
add
to
you.
3
Do
not
let
kindness
and
truth
leave
you;
bind
them
around
your
neck,
write
them
on
the
tablet
of
your
heart.
4
So
you
will
find
favor
and
good
repute
In
the
sight
of
God
and
man.
5
Trust
in
the
Lord
with
all
your
heart
and
do
not
lean
on
your
own
understanding.
6
In
all
your
ways
acknowledge
Him,
and
He
will
make
your
paths
straight.
7
Do
not
be
wise
in
your
own
eyes;
fear
the
Lord
and
turn
away
from
evil.
8
It
will
be
healing
to
your
body
and
refreshment
to
your
bones.
9
Honor
the
Lord
from
your
wealth
and
from
the
first
of
all
your
produce;
10
so
your
barns
will
be
filled
with
plenty
and
your
vats
will
overflow
with
new
wine.
11
My
son,
do
not
reject
the
discipline
of
the
Lord
or
loathe
His
reproof,
12
for
whom
the
Lord
loves
He
reproves,
even
as
a
father corrects the son in whom he delights.
13
How
blessed
is
the
man
who
finds
wisdom
and
the
man
who
gains
understanding.
14
For
her
profit
is
better
than
the
profit
of
silver
and
her
gain
better
than
fine
gold.
15
She
is
more
precious
than
jewels;
and
nothing
you
desire
compares
with
her.
16
Long
life
is
in
her
right
hand;
in
her
left
hand
are
riches
and
honor.
17
Her
ways
are
pleasant
ways
and
all
her
paths
are
peace.
18
She
is
a
tree
of
life
to
those
who
take
hold
of
her,
and
happy
are
all
who
hold
her
fast.
19
The
Lord
by
wisdom
founded
the
earth;
by
understanding
He
established
the
heavens.
20
By
His
knowledge
the
deeps
were
broken
up
and
the
skies
drip
with
dew.
21
My
son,
let
them
not
vanish
from
your
sight;
keep
sound
wisdom
and
discretion,
22
so
they
will
be
life
to
your
soul
and
adornment
to
your
neck.
23
Then
you
will
walk
in
your
way
securely
and
your
foot
will
not
stumble.
24
When
you
lie
down,
you
will
not
be
afraid;
when
you
lie
down,
your
sleep
will
be
sweet.
25
Do
not
be
afraid
of
sudden
fear
nor
of
the
onslaught
of
the
wicked
when
it
comes;
26
for
the
Lord
will
be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
27
Do
not
withhold
good
from
those
to
whom
it
is
due,
when
it
is
in
your
power
to
do
it.
28
Do
not
say
to
your
neighbor,
“Go,
and
come
back,
and
tomorrow
I
will
give
it,”
when
you
have
it
with
you.
29
Do
not
devise
harm
against
your
neighbor,
while
he
lives
securely
beside
you.
30
Do
not
contend
with
a
man
without
cause,
if
he
has
done
you
no
harm.
31
Do
not
envy
a
man
of
violence
and
do
not
choose
any
of
his
ways.
32
For
the
devious
are
an
abomination
to
the
Lord;
but
He
is
intimate
with
the
upright.
33
The
curse
of
the
Lord
is
on
the
house
of
the
wicked,
but
He
blesses
the
dwelling
of
the
righteous.
34
Though
He
scoffs
at
the
scoffers,
yet
He
gives
grace
to
the afflicted. 35 The wise will inherit honor, but fools display dishonor.
