1. (Prov 3:1) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2. (Prov 3:2) For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3. (Prov 3:3) Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4. (Prov 3:4) So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5. (Prov 3:5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

11. (Prov 3:11) My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12. (Prov 3:12) For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13. (Prov 3:13) Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14. (Prov 3:14) For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

20. (Prov 3:20) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21. (Prov 3:21) My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22. (Prov 3:22) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23. (Prov 3:23) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24. (Prov 3:24) When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25. (Prov 3:25) Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

27. (Prov 3:27) Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28. (Prov 3:28) Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29. (Prov 3:29) Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30. (Prov 3:30) Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31. (Prov 3:31) Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32. (Prov 3:32) For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
33. (Prov 3:33) The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34. (Prov 3:34) Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
