Proverbs
Chapters 3:9-15
New International Version Anglicized
9Honour the Lord with your wealth,with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10then your barns will be filled to overflowing,and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,and do not resent his rebuke,
12because the Lord disciplines those he loves,as a father the son he delights in.
13Blessed are those who find wisdom,those who gain understanding,
14for she is more profitable than silverand yields better returns than gold.
15She is more precious than rubies;nothing you desire can compare with her.
