meaning: (1) We should keep God's commandments. We should keep on learning them in the Bible
2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
meaning:(5) We shouldn't depend on ourselves because if God never helps us, we would never succeed.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
meaning:(6) We need to trust Him for guidance to the right path.
7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
meaning:(7) Some things may seem good to our eyes but God knows best. We need to fear Him and depart from sin.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
meaning:(11) We shouldn't hate or ignore or reject the Lord's correction.
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
meaning:(12) Remember when some of you were little kids and got spanked or grounded, some thought their parents hated them? (At least that's what I thought when they didn't give me the harmful things I wanted.) But those punishments were actually corrections from parents full of love! God loves us so much that He wants us to grow to be like Him, not like this world.
