Proverbs 3:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 3:2

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;

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
^aJust as a father the son in whom he delights.

13 ^aHappy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;

14 ^aFor her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies,
And ^aall the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

16 ^aLength of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
