2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart;
4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase;
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction;
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
