Proverbs 3:12 Context
10So shall thy barnes be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11¶ My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord: neither be weary of his correction. 12For whom the Lord loueth, he correcteth, euen as a father the sonne, in whom he delighteth. 13¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisedome, and the man that getteth vnderstanding. 14For the merchandise of it is better then the merchandise of siluer, and the gaine thereof, then fine gold.
