Chapter Three My son, forget not my law,
but let thine heart keep my commandments.

00:08.440 --> 00:11.880
For length of days and long life and peace
shall they add to thee.

00:12.600 --> 00:14.900
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee.

00:15.420 --> 00:18.880
Bind them about thy neck, write them upon
the table of thine heart.

00:19.500 --> 00:23.960
So shalt thou find favor and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.

00:24.900 --> 00:29.400
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and lean not unto thine own understanding.

00:30.180 --> 00:34.160
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

00:34.980 --> 00:39.320
Be not wise in thine own eyes,
fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

00:40.000 --> 00:43.180
It shall be health to thy navel,
and marrow to thy bones.

00:44.100 --> 00:47.540
Honor the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine

00:47.540 --> 00:48.000
increase.

00:48.660 --> 00:53.240
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new

00:53.240 --> 00:53.640
wine.

00:53.640 --> 00:59.520
My son, despise not the chastening of the
Lord, neither be wary of his correction.

01:00.340 --> 01:04.900
For whom the Lord loveth, he correcteth,
even as a father the son in whom he

01:04.900 --> 01:05.420
delighteth.

01:06.360 --> 01:10.500
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.

01:11.280 --> 01:15.220
For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, and the gain

01:15.220 --> 01:16.720
thereof than fine gold.

01:17.280 --> 01:22.560
She is more precious than rubies,
and all the things thou canst desire are

01:22.560 --> 01:24.080
not to be compared unto her.

01:24.920 --> 01:29.300
Length of days is in her right hand,
and in her left hand riches and honor.

01:30.160 --> 01:34.020
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.

01:34.980 --> 01:39.700
She is a tree of life to them that lay
hold upon her, and happy is every one that

01:39.700 --> 01:40.320
retaineth her.

01:40.320 --> 01:46.000
The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth,
by understanding hath he established the

01:46.000 --> 01:46.260
heavens.

01:47.160 --> 01:51.500
By his knowledge the depths are broken up,
and the clouds drop down the dew.

01:52.640 --> 01:57.880
My son, let not them depart from thine
eyes, keep sound wisdom and discretion.

01:58.760 --> 02:02.620
So shall they be life unto thy soul,
and grace to thy neck.

02:03.360 --> 02:07.240
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
and thy foot shall not stumble.

02:07.240 --> 02:10.540
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be
afraid.

02:11.140 --> 02:14.520
Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep
shall be sweet.

02:15.320 --> 02:19.320
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of
the desolation of the wicked when it

02:19.320 --> 02:19.620
cometh.

02:20.140 --> 02:24.840
For the Lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

02:26.020 --> 02:30.480
Withhold not good from them to whom it is
due, when it is in the power of thine hand

02:30.480 --> 02:30.980
to do it.

02:30.980 --> 02:35.500
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go,
and come again, and tomorrow I will give,

02:35.780 --> 02:36.980
when thou hast it by thee.

02:37.720 --> 02:41.940
Devise not evil against thy neighbour,
seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

02:42.900 --> 02:46.340
Strive not with a man without cause,
if he have done thee no harm.

02:47.240 --> 02:50.540
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose
none of his ways.

02:51.240 --> 02:55.520
For the froward is abomination to the
Lord, but his secret is with the

02:55.520 --> 02:55.760
righteous.

02:56.620 --> 03:01.000
The curse of the Lord is in the house of
the wicked, but he blesseth the habitation

03:01.000 --> 03:01.640
of the just.

03:02.580 --> 03:06.960
Surely he scorneth the scorners,
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

03:07.640 --> 03:12.500
The wise shall inherit glory, but shame
shall be the promotion of fools.
