Proverbs 3:13-26

13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

14For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

15She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

16Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor.

17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.

19The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens;

20By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew.

21My son, let them not depart from your eyes— Keep sound wisdom and discretion;

22So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck.

23Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble.

24When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

26For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught.
