Proverbs 3:5-15

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.
