Proverbs 3:4

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;

And He shall¹ direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own ^aeyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
