Proverbs 3:9-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

15. She is more precious than all riches, and all that can be desired cannot prevail in comparison to her.

16. Length of days is at her right hand, and at her left hand is wealth and glory.
