Proverbs 3 (NET) New English Translation

1 My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for they will provide a long and full life, and they will add well-being to you.
3 Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8 This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self.
9 Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled completely, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My child, do not despise discipline from the LORD, and do not loathe his rebuke.
12 For the LORD disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who obtains understanding.
14 For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are very pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
18 She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.
19 By wisdom the LORD laid the foundation of the earth; he established the heavens by understanding.
20 By his knowledge the primordial sea was broken open, and the clouds drip down dew.
21 My child, do not let them escape from your sight; safeguard sound wisdom and discretion.
22 So they will give life to you, and grace to adorn your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way with security, and you will not stumble.
24 When you lie down you will not be filled with fear; when you lie down your sleep will be pleasant.
25 You will not be afraid of sudden disaster, or when destruction overtakes the wicked;
26 for the LORD will be the source of your confidence, and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.
27 Do not withhold good from those who need it, when you have the ability to help.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it," when you have it with you at the time.
29 Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.
30 Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.
31 Do not envy a violent man, and do not choose to imitate any of his ways;
32 for one who goes astray is an abomination to the LORD, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.
33 The LORD's curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 Although he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, yet he shows favor to the humble.
35 The wise inherit honor, but he holds fools up to public contempt.

3 Let not H408 ADV mercy H2617 NMS and truth H571 forsake H5800 thee : bind H7194 them about H5921 PREP thy neck H1621 ; write H3789 them upon H5921 PREP the table H3871 of thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS :
4 So shalt thou find H4672 favor H2580 NMS and good H2896 AMS understanding H7922 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of God H430 EDP and man H120 .

12 For CONJ whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS loveth H157 he correcteth H3198 VHY3MS ; even as a father H1 the son H1121 NMS in whom he delighteth H7521 .

14 For H3588 CONJ the merchandise H5504 of it is better H2896 AMS than the merchandise H5505 of silver H3701 NMS , and the gain H8393 thereof than fine gold H2742 .
15 She H1931 PPRO-3FS is more precious H3368 than rubies H6443 : and all H3605 W-CMS the things thou canst desire H2656 are not H3808 NADV to be compared H7737 unto her .

19 The LORD H3068 by wisdom H2451 B-NFS hath founded H3245 the earth H776 NFS ; by understanding H8394 hath he established H3559 the heavens H8064 NMP .
20 By his knowledge H1847 the depths H8415 are broken up H1234 , and the clouds H7834 drop down H7491 VQY3MP the dew H2919 NMS .
21 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , let not H408 NPAR them depart H3868 from thine eyes H5869 : keep H5341 sound wisdom H8454 and discretion H4209 W-NFS :
22 So shall they be H1961 life H2416 NMP unto thy soul H5315 , and grace H2580 to thy neck H1621 L-CFP-2MS .
23 Then H227 ADV shalt thou walk H1980 VQY2MS in thy way H1870 CMS-2MS safely H983 L-NMS , and thy foot H7272 shall not H3808 NADV stumble H5062 .

29 Devise H2790 not H408 NPAR evil H7451 against H5921 PREP thy neighbor H7453 , seeing he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS dwelleth H3427 VQPMS securely H983 L-NMS by H854 PART-2FS thee .
30 Strive H7378 not H408 NPAR with H5973 PREP a man H120 NMS without cause H2600 ADV , if H518 PART he have done H1580 thee no H3808 NADV harm H7451 AFS .
31 Envy H7065 thou not H408 NPAR the oppressor H2555 AMS , and choose H977 none H408 ADV of his ways H1870 .

33 The curse H3994 of the LORD H3068 EDS is in the house H1004 B-CMS of the wicked H7563 AMS : but he blesseth H1288 the habitation H5116 of the just H6662 AMP .
