ASV

My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:

ASV

For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.

ASV

Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

ASV

Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

ASV

It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.

Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:

ASV

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

ASV

My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:

ASV

For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

ASV

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.

ASV

For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.

ASV

She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

ASV

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.

ASV

Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.

ASV

By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.

ASV

My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

ASV

So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.

ASV

Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.

ASV

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

ASV

Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:

ASV

For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.

ASV

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

ASV

Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.

Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.

ASV

For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.

ASV

The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.

ASV

Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers; But he giveth grace unto the lowly.

ASV

The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.
