Proverbs 3:5-12
Christian Standard Bible
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,(A)
and do not rely on your own understanding;(B)
6 in all your ways know him,
and he will make your paths straight.(C)
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes;(D)
fear the Lord and turn away from evil.(E)
8 This will be healing for your body[a](F)
and strengthening for your bones.(G)
9 Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest;(H)
10 then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.(I)
11 Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe his discipline;(J)
12 for the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.(K)
