A Stroll Through Proverbs: Proverbs 3:5-3:10

5 “⁽¹⁾ Trust [total commitment] in the LORD [self-Existent One, YHWH, Jehovah] with all thine heart [nothing held back]; and ⁽²⁾ lean [all your weight] not unto thine own understanding.

             ⁽¹⁾ Psalm 37:3,5; ⁽²⁾ Jeremiah 9:23-24, Proverbs 23:4

 

6 In ⁽³⁾ all* thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall ⁽⁴⁾ direct thy paths [make straight or smooth].

            ⁽³⁾ 1 Chronicles 28:9, Philippians 4:6, James 1:5; ⁽⁴⁾ Jeremiah 10:23; *my emphasis

 

7 ⁽⁵⁾ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear [reverence] the LORD, and depart from evil.

            ⁽⁵⁾ Romans 12:16

 

8 It shall be health [medicine] to thy navel [body], and ⁽⁶⁾ marrow [watering/moistening] to thy bones.

            ⁽⁶⁾ Job 21:24

 

9 Honour ⁽⁷⁾ the LORD with thy substance [wealth], and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

            ⁽⁷⁾ Exodus 23:19, Malachi 3:10

 

10 So ⁽⁸⁾ shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses [vats] shall burst out with *new wine [healthful, fresh-pressed grape juice].”

            ⁽⁸⁾ Deuteronomy 28:8; *see: Proverbs 23:29-35 = severe warning against intoxicating wine (Henry Morris Study Bible, 2018 Master Books Edition, Page 952)
