1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart guard my precepts. 2 For they shall set before you length of days, and years of life, and peace. 3 Let not mercy and truth abandon you: encircle them around your throat, and inscribe them on the tablets of your heart. 4 And so shall you discover grace and good discipline, in the sight of God and men. 5 Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. 6 In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps. 7 Do not seem wise to yourself. Fear God, and withdraw from evil. Proverbs 3:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
