(Pro 3:10) So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
(Pro 3:11) My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

(Pro 3:19) The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
(Pro 3:20) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
(Pro 3:21) My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
(Pro 3:22) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
(Pro 3:23) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
(Pro 3:24) When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

(Pro 3:34) Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
(Pro 3:35) The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
