| Proverbs 3 Text (WEB)
|
- My son, don't forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:
- for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.
- Don't let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
- So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
- Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding.
- In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
- Don't be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
- It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
- Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:
- so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
- My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, neither be weary of his reproof:
- for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
- Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
- For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
- She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
- Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
- Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
- She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
- By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
- By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
- My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
- so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
- Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won't stumble.
- When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
- Don't be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:
- for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
- Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
- Don't say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you," when you have it by you.
- Don't devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
- Don't strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
- Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
- For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.
- Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
- Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
- The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.

- בני תורתי אל־תשכח ומצותי יצר לבך׃
- כי ארך ימים ושנות חיים ושלום יוסיפו לך׃
- חסד ואמת אל־יעזבך קשרם על־גרגרותיך כתבם על־לוח לבך׃
- ומצא־חן ושכל־טוב בעיני אלהים ואדם׃ ף
- בטח אל־יהוה בכל־לבך ואל־בינתך אל־תשען׃
- בכל־דרכיך דעהו והוא יישר ארחתיך׃
- אל־תהי חכם בעיניך ירא את־יהוה וסור מרע׃
- רפאות תהי לשרך ושקוי לעצמותיך׃
- כבד את־יהוה מהונך ומראשית כל־תבואתך׃
- וימלאו אסמיך שבע ותירוש יקביך יפרצו׃ ף
- מוסר יהוה בני אל־תמאס ואל־תקץ בתוכחתו׃
- כי את אשר יאהב יהוה יוכיח וכאב את־בן ירצה׃
- אשרי אדם מצא חכמה ואדם יפיק תבונה׃
- כי טוב סחרה מסחר־כסף ומחרוץ תבואתה׃
- יקרה היא וכל־חפציך לא ישוו־בה׃
- ארך ימים בימינה בשמאולה עשר וכבוד׃
- דרכיה דרכי־נעם וכל־נתיבותיה שלום׃
- עץ־חיים היא למחזיקים בה ותמכיה מאשר׃ ף
- יהוה בחכמה יסד־ארץ כוןן שמים בתבונה׃
- בדעתו תהומות נבקעו ושחקים ירעפו־טל׃
- בני אל־ילזו מעיניך נצר תשיה ומזמה׃
- ויהיו חיים לנפשך וחן לגרגרתיך׃
- אז תלך לבטח דרךך ורגלך לא תגוף׃
- אם־תשכב לא־תפחד ושכבת וערבה שנתך׃
- אל־תירא מפחד פתאם ומשאת רשעים כי תבא׃
- כי־יהוה יהיה בכסלך ושמר רגלך מלכד׃
- אל־תמנע־טוב מבעליו בהיות לאל לעשות׃
- אל־תאמר לך ושוב ומחר אתן ויש אתך׃
- אל־תחרש על־רעך רעה והוא־יושב לבטח אתך׃
- אל־ עם־אדם חנם אם־לא גמלך רעה׃
- אל־תקנא באיש חמס ואל־תבחר בכל־דרכיו׃
- כי תועבת יהוה נלוז ואת־ישרים סודו׃
- מארת יהוה בבית רשע ונוה צדיקים יברך׃
- אם־ללצים הוא־יליץ יתן־חן׃
- כבוד חכמים ינחלו וכסילים מרים קלון׃ ף

| Proverbs 3 Text (Latin)
|
- Fili mi, ne obliviscaris legis meæ, et præcepta mea cor tuum custodiat ;
- longitudinem enim dierum, et annos vitæ, et pacem apponent tibi.
- Misericordia et veritas te non deserant ; circumda eas gutturi tuo, et describe in tabulis cordis tui ;
- et invenies gratiam, et disciplinam bonam, coram Deo et hominibus.
- Habe fiduciam in Domino ex toto corde tuo, et ne innitaris prudentiæ tuæ.
- In omnibus viis tuis cogita illum, et ipse diriget gressus tuos.
- Ne sis sapiens apud temetipsum ; time Deum, et recede a malo :
- sanitas quippe erit umbilico tuo, et irrigatio ossium tuorum.
- Honora Dominum de tua substantia, et de primitiis omnium frugum tuarum da ei ;
- et implebuntur horrea tua saturitate, et vino torcularia tua redundabunt.
- Disciplinam Domini, fili mi, ne abjicias, nec deficias cum ab eo corriperis :
- quem enim diligit Dominus corripit, et quasi pater in filio complacet sibi.
- Beatus homo qui invenit sapientiam, et qui affluit prudentia.
- Melior est acquisitio ejus negotiatione argenti, et auri primi et purissimi fructus ejus.
- Pretiosior est cunctis opibus, et omnia quæ desiderantur huic non valent comparari.
- Longitudo dierum in dextera ejus, et in sinistra illius divitiæ et gloria.
- Viæ ejus viæ pulchræ, et omnes semitæ illius pacificæ.
- Lignum vitæ est his qui apprehenderint eam, et qui tenuerit eam beatus.
- Dominus sapientia fundavit terram, stabilivit cælos prudentia.
- Sapientia illius eruperunt abyssi, et nubes rore concrescunt.
- Fili mi, ne effluant hæc ab oculis tuis. Custodi legem atque consilium,
- et erit vita animæ tuæ, et gratia faucibus tuis.
- Tunc ambulabis fiducialiter in via tua, et pes tuus non impinget.
- Si dormieris, non timebis ; quiesces, et suavis erit somnus tuus.
- Ne paveas repentino terrore, et irruentes tibi potentias impiorum.
- Dominus enim erit in latere tuo, et custodiet pedem tuum, ne capiaris.
- Noli prohibere benefacere eum qui potest ; si vales, et ipse benefac.
- Ne dicas amico tuo : Vade, et revertere, cras dabo tibi, cum statim possis dare.
- Ne moliaris amico tuo malum, cum ille in te habeat fiduciam.
- Ne contendas adversus hominem frustra, cum ipse tibi nihil mali fecerit.
- Ne æmuleris hominem injustum, nec imiteris vias ejus :
- quia abominatio Domini est omnis illusor, et cum simplicibus sermocinatio ejus.
- Egestas a Domino in domo impii ; habitacula autem justorum benedicentur.
- Ipse deludet illusores, et mansuetis dabit gratiam.
- Gloriam sapientes possidebunt ; stultorum exaltatio ignominia.

| Proverbs 3 Text (KJV)
|
- My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
- For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
- Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
- So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
- Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
- In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
- Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
- It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
- Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
- So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
- My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
- For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
- For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
- She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
- Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
- Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
- The is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
- The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
- By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
- My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
- So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
- Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
- When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
- Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
- For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
- Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
- Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
- Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
- Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
- Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
- For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
- The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
- Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
- The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
