Verses of Proverbs 3 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands;
2 - For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.
3 - Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 - And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.
5 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
6 - In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
7 - Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 - It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.
9 - Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 - So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 - My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction;
12 - For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 - Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;
14 - For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.
15 - She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16 - Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor.
17 - Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
18 - She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.
19 - The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens;
20 - By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew.
21 - My son, let them not depart from your eyes--Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 - So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck.
23 - Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble.
24 - When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
25 - Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26 - For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.
27 - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28 - Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you.
29 - Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake.
30 - Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.
31 - Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways;
32 - For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright.
33 - The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just.
34 - Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.
35 - The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
