Proverbs 3

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 son, forget not my laws; but let thine heart keep my words:

2 for length of existence, and years of life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; but bind them about thy neck:

4 so shalt thou find favour: and do thou provide things honest in the sight of the Lord, and of men.

5 Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom.

6 In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own conceit; but fear God, and depart from all evil.

8 Then shall there be health to thy body, and good keeping to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy just labours, and give him the first of thy fruits of righteousness:

10 that thy storehouses may be completely filled with corn, and that thy presses may burst forth with wine.

11 son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

12 for whom the Lord loves, he rebukes, and scourges every son whom he receives.

13 Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who knows prudence.

14 For it is better to traffic for her, than for treasures of gold and silver.

15 And she is more valuable than precious stones: no evil thing shall resist her: she is well known to all that approach her, and no precious thing is equal to her in value.

16 For length of existence and years of life are in her right hand; and in her left hand are wealth and glory: out of her mouth proceeds righteousness, and she carries law and mercy upon her tongue.

17 Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.

18 She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is secure to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.

19 God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.

20 By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.

21 son, let not pass from , but keep my counsel and understanding:

22 that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck; and it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones:

23 that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.

24 For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.

25 And thou shalt not be afraid of alarm coming upon thee, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.

26 For the Lord shall be over all thy ways, and shall establish thy foot that thou be not moved.

27 Forbear not to do good to the poor, whensoever thy hand may have to help .

28 Say not, Come back another time, to-morrow I will give; while thou art able to do good: for thou knowest not what the next day will bring forth.

29 Devise not evil against thy friend, living near thee and trusting in thee.

30 Be not ready to quarrel with a man without a cause, lest he do thee some harm.

31 Procure not the reproaches of bad men, neither do thou covet their ways.

32 For every transgressor is unclean before the Lord; neither does he sit among the righteous.

33 The curse of God is in the houses of the ungodly; but the habitations of the just are blessed.

34 The Lord resists the proud; but he gives grace to the humble.

35 The wise shall inherit glory; but the ungodly have exalted dishonour.

New International Version NIV

1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart,

2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;

10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,

12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,

14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing 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 pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.

19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;

20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.

21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;

22 they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.

23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

25 Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

26 for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.

28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have it with you.

29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.

30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason— when they have done you no harm.

31 Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.

32 For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.

33 The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.

34 He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.

35 The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.
