He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.
Prudence and skill in your work will earn you respect and success, but only trust in the Lord secures your true happiness. A man may handle his affairs wisely and come into good repute, yet without piety he will find no lasting satisfaction; but he who trusts in God rather than lean to his own understanding is blessed and shall speed better at last.
AI summary
To give heed to God's word is the path to true prosperity, but everything hinges on standing in personal fellowship with Him through faith. This fiducial trust in the Lord is what makes a man blessed; it is the mark that distinguishes those who prosper from those who merely appear to succeed.
AI summary
Whoever attends diligently to the word of God, laying it up in his heart and making it his rule for living, finds good things for his profit and instruction. But he that trusts in the Lord rather than in his own wisdom, strength, or the favor of men shall want no good thing; he is kept in perfect peace and is as unmovable as Mount Zion.
