Proverbs 3:13-26
131Blessed is a person who finds wisdom, And one who obtains understanding.14For 2her 3profit is better than the profit of silver, And her produce better than gold.15She is 4more precious than 5jewels, And nothing you desire compares with her.1667Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are 8riches and honor.17Her 9ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are 10peace.18She is a 11tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are those who hold on to her.19The Lord founded the earth 12by wisdom, He 13established the heavens by understanding.20By His knowledge the 14ocean depths were burst open, And the 15clouds drip with dew.21My son, see that 16they do not escape from your sight; Comply with sound wisdom and discretion,22And 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 danger, Nor of 23trouble from the wicked when it comes;26For the Lord will be 24your confidence, And will 25keep your foot from being caught.
