Proverbs 3:13-26

13Happy is the manH120 that findeth wisdomH2451,And the manH120 that getteth understandingH8394.14For the gaining of it is betterH2896 than the gaining of silverH3701,And the profitH5504 thereof than fine goldH2742.15She is more preciousH3368 than rubies:And none of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be compared unto her.16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in her rightH3225 handH3225;In her left handH3225 are richesH6239 and honorH3519.17Her waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness,And all her pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.18She is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon her:And happy is every one that retaineth her.19Jehovah by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earthH776;By understandingH8394 he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064.20By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 were brokenH1234 up,And the skies drop down the dewH2919.21My sonH1121, let them not departH3868 from thine eyesH5869;KeepH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209:22So shall they beH1961 lifeH5315 unto thy soulH5315,And graceH2580 to thy neckH1621.23ThenH227 shalt thou walk in thy wayH1870 securely,And thy footH7272 shall not stumble.24When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt not be afraidH6342:Yea, thou shalt lieH7901 down, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweet.25Be not afraidH3372 of sudden fearH3372,Neither of the desolation of the wickedH7563, when it cometh:26For Jehovah will beH1961 thy confidenceH3689,And will keepH8104 thy footH7272 from being taken.
