Proverbs 3:1-12 My child, never forget the things I have taught you.  Store my commands in your heart. ²If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. ³Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!  Tie them around your neck as a reminder.  Write them deep within your heart. ⁴Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

⁵Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. ⁶Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. ⁷Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.  Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. ⁸Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

⁹Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. ¹⁰Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.

¹¹My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you. ¹²For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.
