Proverbs 3:5-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

6. In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

7. Do not seem wise to yourself. Fear God, and withdraw from evil.

8. Certainly, it shall be health to your navel, and refreshment to your bones.

9. Honor the Lord with your substance, and give to him from the first of all your fruits,

10. and then your storehouses will be filled with abundance, and your presses shall overflow with wine.

11. My son, do not discard the discipline of the Lord, and do not fall away when you are corrected by him.

12. For whomever the Lord loves, he corrects, and just as a father does with a son, he wins him over.

13. Blessed is the man who finds wisdom and who advances to prudence.

14. Her acquisition is better than trading in silver, and her fruit is better than the first and purest gold.
