Proverbs 3:13-26

131How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding.14For her 2profit is better than the profit of silver And her gain better than fine gold.15She is 3more precious than 4jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her.1656Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 7riches and honor.17Her 8ways are pleasant ways And all her paths are 9peace.18She is a 10tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who hold her fast.19The Lord 11by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He 12established the heavens.20By His knowledge the 13deeps were broken up And the 14skies drip with dew.21My son, 15let them not 16vanish from your sight; Keep sound wisdom and discretion,22So they will be 17life to your soul And 18adornment to your neck.23Then you will 19walk in your way securely And your foot will not 20stumble.24When you 21lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.2522Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the 2324onslaught of the wicked when it comes;26For the Lord will be 25your confidence And will 26keep your foot from being caught.
