Proverbs

⁶With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. ⁷Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. ⁸If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body. ⁹Honor the Lord with your wealth and the first part of your harvest. ¹⁰Then your barns will be full of grain, and your barrels will be overflowing with wine. ¹¹My son, don’t reject the Lord’S discipline, and don’t be angry when he corrects you. ¹²The Lord corrects the one he loves, just as a father corrects a child he cares about.
