Proverbs Capítulo 3

3 : 1 My son, do not forget my law, but let thy heart keep my commandments.

3 : 2 For length of days, and years of life, and peace, they will add to thee.

3 : 3 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee. Bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart,

3 : 4 so thou shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

3 : 5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding.

3 : 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.

3 : 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes. Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil.

3 : 8 It will be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

3 : 9 Honor Jehovah with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase,

3 : 10 so thy barns shall be filled with plenty, and thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

3 : 11 My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah, nor be weary of his reproof.

3 : 12 For whom Jehovah loves he reproves, and he whips every son whom he receives.

3 : 13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.

3 : 14 For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold.

3 : 15 She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her.

3 : 16 Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand are riches and honor.

3 : 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

3 : 18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.

3 : 19 Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding he established the heavens.

3 : 20 By his knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.

3 : 21 My son, let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,

3 : 22 so they shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

3 : 23 Then thou shall walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

3 : 24 When thou lie down, thou shall not be afraid. Yea, thou shall lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

3 : 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.

3 : 26 For Jehovah will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.

3 : 27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

3 : 28 Do not say to thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give, when thou have it by thee.

3 : 29 Do not devise evil against thy neighbor, since he dwells securely by thee.

3 : 30 Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.

3 : 31 Do not envy thou the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.

3 : 32 For the perverse man is an abomination to Jehovah, but his friendship is with the upright.

3 : 33 The curse of Jehovah is in the house of a wicked man, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.

3 : 34 Surely the Lord is opposed to the arrogant, but he gives grace to the lowly.

3 : 35 The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
