Guidance for the Young

1 My son, do not forget my law,
aBut let your heart keep my commands; 
2 For length of days and long life
And apeace they will add to you. 
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
aBind them around your neck,
bWrite them on the tablet of your heart, 
4 aAnd so find favor and1 high esteem
In the sight of God and man. 
5 aTrust in the Lord with all your heart,
bAnd lean not on your own understanding; 
6 aIn all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall1 direct your paths. 
7 Do not be wise in your own aeyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 
8 It will be health to your1 flesh,
And astrength to your bones. 
9 aHonor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 
10 aSo your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine. 
11 aMy son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;

Proverbs 3:1

My son - The preceptor continues to deliver his lessons.

Forget not my law - Remember what thou hast heard, and practice what thou dost remember; and let all obedience be from the heart: "Let thy heart keep my commandments."
