Amsal 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Study Note
The command to 'trust in the LORD with all your heart' is the opening of one of the most frequently quoted passages in Proverbs (3:5-6), presenting the foundational posture of biblical wisdom. The contrasting phrase 'do not lean on your own understanding' does not deprecate reason but challenges the posture of self-sufficiency that treats human perception as the final arbiter. The Hebrew 'batach' (trust) carries the sense of throwing one's weight on something, implying active reliance rather than passive belief. The verse represents the theological core of Israelite wisdom: true wisdom begins with acknowledging God's superior understanding of all things.
