Proverbs 3:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 3:1

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;
