1 My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,

2 for they will provide a long and full life, and they will add well-being to you.

3 Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding.

6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

7 Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.

8 This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self.
