Proverbs 3
Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart

Proverbs Chapter 3 • Daily Reading by Pastor Chopper Ward


Proverbs 3
King James Version

1
My son, forget not my law;
but let thine heart keep my commandments:​
2 For length of days, and long life,
and peace, shall they add to thee.​

3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:​
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man.​

5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.​
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.​

7
Be not wise in thine own eyes:
fear the Lord, and depart from evil.​
8 It shall be health to thy navel,
and marrow to thy bones.​

9
Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:​
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.​

11
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of his correction:​
12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;
even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.​

13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.​
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,
and the gain thereof than fine gold.​
15 She is more precious than rubies:
and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.​
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
and in her left hand riches and honour.​
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.​
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
and happy is every one that retaineth her.​

19
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth;
by understanding hath he established the heavens.​
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up,
and the clouds drop down the dew.​

21
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes:
keep sound wisdom and discretion:​
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul,
and grace to thy neck.​
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
and thy foot shall not stumble.​
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:
yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.​
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.​
26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken.​
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.​
28 Say not unto thy neighbour,
Go, and come again,
and to morrow I will give;
when thou hast it by thee.​
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour,
seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.​
30 Strive not with a man without cause,
if he have done thee no harm.​

31
Envy thou not the oppressor,
and choose none of his ways.​
32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord:
but his secret is with the righteous.​
33 The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked:
but he blesseth the habitation of the just.​
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners:
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.​
35 The wise shall inherit glory:
but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
