Proverbs 3:5

Verse 5 of 35. The 3rd of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,

2for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.

3Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.

4So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

7Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.

9Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
