New International Version

Wisdom Bestows Well-Being

3 My son,(A) do not forget my teaching,(B)
    but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years(C)
    and bring you peace and prosperity.(D)

3 Let love and faithfulness(E) never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.(F)
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.(G)

5 Trust in the Lord(H) with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths(I) straight.[a](J)
