Proverbs 3:9

Compare all

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.
