Proverbs 3:6-19 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Remember the Lord in all you do,and he will give you success.

7. Don’t depend on your own wisdom.Respect the Lord and refuse to do wrong.

8. Then your body will be healthy,and your bones will be strong.

9. Honor the Lord with your wealthand the firstfruits from all your crops.

10. Then your barns will be full,and your wine barrels will overflow with new wine.

11. My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline,and don’t get angry when he corrects you.

12. The Lord corrects those he loves,just as parents correct the child they delight in.

13. Happy is the person who finds wisdom,the one who gets understanding.

14. Wisdom is worth more than silver;it brings more profit than gold.

15. Wisdom is more precious than rubies;nothing you could want is equal to it.

16. With her right hand wisdom offers you a long life,and with her left hand she gives you riches and honor.

17. Wisdom will make your life pleasantand will bring you peace.

18. As a tree produces fruit, wisdom gives life to those who use it,and everyone who uses it will be happy.

19. The Lord made the earth, using his wisdom.He set the sky in place, using his understanding.
