Proverbs 3:11
Compare all
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. 
17 aHer ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. 
18 She is aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who1 retain her. 
19 aThe Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens; 
20 By His knowledge the depths were abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew. 
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23 aThen you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble. 
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Proverbs 3:11

Despise not - Either by making light of it, or not being duly affected with it; or by accounting it an unnecessary thing: but rather esteem it a privilege and favour from God. Weary - Neither think it tedious or hard, but endure it with patience and chearfulness.
