Proverbs Chapter 3

 

1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Duet 8:1  All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Psalms 119:165  Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Exodus 13:9  And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

Duet 6:8  And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

2 Cor 3:3  Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Romans 14:18  For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Psalms 37:3,5 
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Jer 9:23  Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

1 Chr 28:9  And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Jer 10:23  O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Romans 12:16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Prov 16:6  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Job 21:24  His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase:

Exodus 22:29  Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Duet 28:8  The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

Job 5:17  Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

Psalms 94:12  Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Duet 8:5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.


Prov 8:34-5 
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Job 28:13  Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

Psalms 19:10  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

1 Tim 4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Matt 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Gen 2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Prov 1:9  For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

Psalm 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Lev 26:6  And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

Psalms 91:5  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it

Romans 13:7  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Gal 6:10.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Lev 19:13  Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

Psalms 37:1  (A Psalm of David.) Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

Psalms 25:14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

Zech 5:3-4 
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.

Mal 2:2  If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

Psalms 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

James 4:6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1 Peter 5:5  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
