(Pro 3:2) For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
(Pro 3:3) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

(Pro 3:10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
(Pro 3:11) My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

(Pro 3:13) Happy {is} the man {that} findeth wisdom, and the man {that} getteth understanding.

(Pro 3:17) Her ways {are} ways of pleasantness, and all her paths {are} peace.
(Pro 3:18) She {is} a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy {is every one} that retaineth her.
(Pro 3:19) The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
(Pro 3:20) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
(Pro 3:21) My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
(Pro 3:22) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
(Pro 3:23) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
(Pro 3:24) When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
(Pro 3:25) Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
(Pro 3:26) For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
(Pro 3:27) Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do {it}.

(Pro 3:29) Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
(Pro 3:30) Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
(Pro 3:31) Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
(Pro 3:32) For the froward {is} abomination to the Lord: but his secret {is} with the righteous.
(Pro 3:33) The curse of the Lord {is} in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
(Pro 3:34) Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
(Pro 3:35) The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
