Part 3

20:002:022 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

20:003:001 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

20:003:002 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

20:003:003 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

20:003:004 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

20:003:005 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

20:003:006 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

20:003:007 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

20:003:008 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

20:003:009 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

20:003:010 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

20:003:011 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

20:003:012 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

20:003:013 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

20:003:014 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

20:003:015 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

20:003:016 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

20:003:017 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

20:003:018 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

20:003:019 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

20:003:020 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

20:003:021 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

20:003:022 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

20:003:023 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

20:003:024 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

20:003:025 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

20:003:026 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

20:003:027 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
