2:17. And forsaketh the guide of her youth,

2:18. And hath forgotten the covenant of her God: for her house
inclineth unto death, and her paths to hell.

2:19. None that go in unto her, shall return again, neither shall they
take hold of the paths of life.

2:20. That thou mayst walk in a good way: and mayst keep the paths of
the just.

2:21. For they that are upright, shall dwell in the earth; and the
simple shall continue in it.

2:22. But the wicked shall be destroyed from the earth: and they that do
unjustly, shall be taken away from it.

Proverbs Chapter 3

An exhortation to the practice of virtue.

3:1. My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.

3:2. For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life, and
peace.

3:3. Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and
write them in the tables of thy heart.

3:4. And thou shalt find grace, and good understanding before God and
men.

3:5. Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon
thy own prudence.

3:6. In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.

3:7. Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:

3:8. For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.

3:9. Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of
all thy fruits;

3:10. And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses
shall run over with wine.

3:11. My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint
when thou art chastised by him:

3:12. For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the
son he pleaseth himself.

3:13. Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and is rich in prudence:

3:14. The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver,
and her fruit than the chief and purest gold:

3:15. She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are
desired, are not to be compared to her.

3:16. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches
and glory.

3:17. Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.

3:18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that
shall retain her is blessed.

3:19. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the
heavens by prudence.

3:20. By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow
thick with dew.

3:21. My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law
and counsel:

3:22. And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
