Proverbs 3:5-12

New International Version

⁵ Trust in the Lord^(A) with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths^(B) straight.^[a](C)

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;^(D)
    fear the Lord^(E) and shun evil.^(F)
8 This will bring health to your body^(G)
    and nourishment to your bones.^(H)

⁹ Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits^(I) of all your crops;
¹⁰ then your barns will be filled^(J) to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.^(K)

¹¹ My son,^(L) do not despise the Lord’s discipline,^(M)
    and do not resent his rebuke,
¹² because the Lord disciplines those he loves,^(N)
    as a father the son he delights in.^[b](O)
