Proverbs 8:32

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Pay attention, my children! Follow my advice, and you will be happy.

See the chapter Copy

Jesus replied, “That's true, but the people who are really blessed are the ones who hear and obey God's message!”

The LORD will bless you if you respect him and obey his laws.

My son, listen to me and do everything I say.

My son, pay close attention to what I have said.

I do what you want and never turn to do evil.

Death and destruction have merely heard rumours about where it is found.

I do what you want and never turn to do evil.

God blesses everyone who has wisdom and common sense.

Without guidance from God law and order disappear, but God blesses everyone who obeys his Law.

Wisdom is a life-giving tree, the source of happiness for all who hold on to her.
