## Proverbs 3:1-35 in Context (Verses 1–35 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/1) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
 
 [2 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/2) For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/3) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
 
 [4 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/4) So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/5) ¶ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/7) ¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/8) It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.**
 
 [9 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/9) Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/11) ¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/12) For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son *in whom* he delighteth.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/13) ¶ Happy *is* the man *that* findeth wisdom, and the man *that* getteth understanding.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/14) For the merchandise of it *is* better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/15) She *is* more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/16) Length of days *is* in her right hand; *and* in her left hand riches and honour.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/17) Her ways *are* ways of pleasantness, and all her paths *are* peace.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/18) She *is* a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy *is every one* that retaineth her.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/19) The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/20) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/21) ¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/22) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/23) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/24) When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/25) Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/26) For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/27) ¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do *it*.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/28) Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/29) Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.*
 
 [30 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/30) ¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/31) ¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.*
 
 [32 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/32) For the froward *is* abomination to the LORD: but his secret *is* with the righteous.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/33) ¶ The curse of the LORD *is* in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/34) Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/proverbs/3/35) The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.*
