Proverbs 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 Good friend, don't forget all I've taught you; take to heart my commands.

2 They'll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.

3 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.

4 Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.

5 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.

6 Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.

7 Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!

8 Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!

9 Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best.

10 Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.

11 But don't, dear friend, resent God's discipline; don't sulk under his loving correction.

12 It's the child he loves that God corrects; a father's delight is behind all this. The Very Tree of Life

13 You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom, when you make friends with Madame Insight.

14 She's worth far more than money in the bank; her friendship is better than a big salary.

15 Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.

16 With one hand she gives long life, with the other she confers recognition.

17 Her manner is beautiful, her life wonderfully complete.

18 She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her. Hold her tight - and be blessed!

19 With Lady Wisdom, God formed Earth; with Madame Insight, he raised Heaven.

20 They knew when to signal rivers and springs to the surface, and dew to descend from the night skies. Never Walk Away

21 Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life; don't for a minute lose sight of them.

22 They'll keep your soul alive and well, they'll keep you fit and attractive.

23 You'll travel safely, you'll neither tire nor trip.

24 You'll take afternoon naps without a worry, you'll enjoy a good night's sleep.

25 No need to panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner,

26 Because God will be right there with you; he'll keep you safe and sound.

27 Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person.

28 Don't tell your neighbor, "Maybe some other time," or, "Try me tomorrow," when the money's right there in your pocket.

29 Don't figure ways of taking advantage of your neighbor when he's sitting there trusting and unsuspecting.

30 Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder, always spoiling for a fight.

31 Don't try to be like those who shoulder their way through life. Why be a bully?

32 "Why not?" you say. Because God can't stand twisted souls. It's the straightforward who get his respect.

33 God's curse blights the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.

34 He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder, but if you're down on your luck, he's right there to help.

35 Wise living gets rewarded with honor; stupid living gets the booby prize.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fili mi ne obliviscaris legis meae et praecepta mea custodiat cor tuum

2 longitudinem enim dierum et annos vitae et pacem adponent tibi

3 misericordia et veritas non te deserant circumda eas gutturi tuo et describe in tabulis cordis tui

4 et invenies gratiam et disciplinam bonam coram Deo et hominibus

5 habe fiduciam in Domino ex toto corde tuo et ne innitaris prudentiae tuae

6 in omnibus viis tuis cogita illum et ipse diriget gressus tuos

7 ne sis sapiens apud temet ipsum time Dominum et recede a malo

8 sanitas quippe erit umbilico tuo et inrigatio ossuum tuorum

9 honora Dominum de tua substantia et de primitiis omnium frugum tuarum

10 et implebuntur horrea tua saturitate et vino torcularia redundabunt

11 disciplinam Domini fili mi ne abicias nec deficias cum ab eo corriperis

12 quem enim diligit Dominus corripit et quasi pater in filio conplacet sibi

13 beatus homo qui invenit sapientiam et qui affluit prudentia

14 melior est adquisitio eius negotiatione argenti et auro primo fructus eius

15 pretiosior est cunctis opibus et omnia quae desiderantur huic non valent conparari

16 longitudo dierum in dextera eius in sinistra illius divitiae et gloria

17 viae eius viae pulchrae et omnes semitae illius pacificae

18 lignum vitae est his qui adprehenderint eam et qui tenuerit eam beatus

19 Dominus sapientia fundavit terram stabilivit caelos prudentia

20 sapientia illius eruperunt abyssi et nubes rore concrescunt

21 fili mi ne effluant haec ab oculis tuis custodi legem atque consilium

22 et erit vita animae tuae et gratia faucibus tuis

23 tunc ambulabis fiducialiter in via tua et pes tuus non inpinget

24 si dormieris non timebis quiesces et suavis erit somnus tuus

25 ne paveas repentino terrore et inruentes tibi potentias impiorum

26 Dominus enim erit in latere tuo et custodiet pedem tuum ne capiaris

27 noli prohibere benefacere eum qui potest si vales et ipse benefac

28 ne dicas amico tuo vade et revertere et cras dabo tibi cum statim possis dare

29 ne moliaris amico tuo malum cum ille in te habeat fiduciam

30 ne contendas adversus hominem frustra cum ipse tibi nihil mali fecerit

31 ne aemuleris hominem iniustum nec imiteris vias eius

32 quia abominatio Domini est omnis inlusor et cum simplicibus sermocinatio eius

33 egestas a Domino in domo impii habitacula autem iustorum benedicentur

34 inlusores ipse deludet et mansuetis dabit gratiam

35 gloriam sapientes possidebunt stultorum exaltatio ignominia
