In context

2 for length of days, and years of life, and peace shall they add to thee.

3 Let not loving-kindness and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck, write them upon the tablet of thy heart:

4 and thou shalt find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Confide in Jehovah with all thy heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence;

6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will make plain thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

8 it shall be health for thy navel, and moisture for thy bones.
