| 1 | My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commands; | My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, | My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, | |
| 2 | for they will bring you many days, a full life, and well-being. | for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. | for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. | |
| 3 | Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. | Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. | Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. | |
| 4 | Then you will find favor and high regard with God and people. | So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. | Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. | |
| 5 | Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; | Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. | Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; | |
| 6 | in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight. | In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. | in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. | |
| 7 | Don’t be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. | Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. | Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. | |
| 8 | This will be healing for your body and strengthening for your bones. | It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. | This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. | |
| 9 | Honor the LORD with your possessions and with the first produce of your entire harvest; | Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; | Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; | |
| 10 | then your barns will be completely filled, and your vats will overflow with new wine. | then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. | then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. | |
| 11 | Do not despise the LORD’s instruction, my son, and do not loathe his discipline; | My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, | My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, | |
| 12 | for the LORD disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights. | for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. | because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. | |
