Proverbs 3:7-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

7. Do not consider yourself wise.Fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

8. ⌊Then⌋ your body will be healed,and your bones will have nourishment.

9. Honor the Lord with your wealthand with the first and best part of all your income.

10. Then your barns will be full,and your vats will overflow with fresh wine.

11. Do not reject the discipline of the Lord, my son,and do not resent his warning,

12. because the Lord warns the one he loves,even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.

13. Blessed is the one who finds wisdomand the one who obtains understanding.

14. The profit ⌊gained⌋ from ⌊wisdom⌋ is greater thanthe profit ⌊gained⌋ from silver.Its yield is better than fine gold.

15. ⌊Wisdom⌋ is more precious than jewels,and all your desires cannot equal it.
