Proverbs 3:5 --- Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Thine Own Self was created on 1994-02-14.
In the quotation 'To thine own self be true' thine is used for the word 'your'. It says 'Be true to yourself'.
The quote "To thine own self be true" was written by Shakespeare. This appears in a speech by Polonius in Hamlet. This is NOT in the Bible.
proverbs 3:5,6 Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Pro 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamore tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And serve you always." Zacharias, thy prayer is heard", said the Lord. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee, Oh Lord. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Respect the holy one of Israel, the Lord God.
Translating to contemporary English "Be true to yourself."
Grammar. "Thine" is used before a word beginning with a vowel (like the difference between "a" and "an"). Shakespeare wrote "thine," of course. (Elizabethan grammar was a flexible thing, but not in this case.)
