1. My son, don’t forget my teaching;but let your heart keep my commandments:
2. for length of days, and years of life,and peace, they will add to you.
3. Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you.Bind them around your neck.Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4. So you will find favour,and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6. In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make your paths straight.
7. Don’t be wise in your own eyes.Fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
8. It will be health to your body,and nourishment to your bones.
9. Honour the Lord with your substance,with the first fruits of all your increase:
10. so your barns will be filled with plenty,and your vats will overflow with new wine.
