MY son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017109">2</a>. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017110">3</a>. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017111">4</a>. So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017112">5</a>. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017113">6</a>. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017114">7</a>. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017115">8</a>. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017116">9</a>. Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017117">10</a>. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017118">11</a>. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017119">12</a>. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017120">13</a>. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017121">14</a>. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017122">15</a>. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017123">16</a>. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017124">17</a>. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017125">18</a>. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017126">19</a>. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017127">20</a>. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017128">21</a>. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017129">22</a>. So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017130">23</a>. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017131">24</a>. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017132">25</a>. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017133">26</a>. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017134">27</a>. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017135">28</a>. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017136">29</a>. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017137">30</a>. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017138">31</a>. Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017139">32</a>. For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017140">33</a>. The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017141">34</a>. Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017142">35</a>. The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.</li>
