Proverbs 3:13-26

13HappyH835 is the manH120 that findeth wisdomH2451, and the manH120 that getteth understandingH8394.

14For the merchandiseH5504 of it is betterH2896 thanH2896 the merchandiseH5504 of silverH3701, and the gainH5504 thereof thanH2896 fineH3701 goldH2742.

15SheH1931 is moreH3808 preciousH3368 thanH3808 rubies: and noneH3808 of the things thou canst desireH2656 are to be compared unto herH3605.

16LengthH753 of daysH3117 is in herH3117 rightH3225 had; in herH3117 leftH8040 handH3225 are richesH6239 and honour.

17HerH3605 waysH1870 are waysH1870 of pleasantness, and allH3605 herH3605 pathsH5410 are peaceH7965.

18SheH1931 is a treeH6086 of lifeH2416 to them that lay holdH2388 upon herH8551: and happyH833 is every one that retaineth herH8551.

19The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 foundedH3245 the earthH776; by understandingH8394 he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064.

20By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 were brokenH1234 upH1234, and the skiesH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919.

21My sonH1121, letH408 notH408 them departH3868 from thine eyesH5869; keepH5341 soundH8454 wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209;

22SoH1961 shall they be lifeH5315 unto thy soulH5315, and graceH2580 to thy neckH1621.

23Then shalt thou walkH1870 in thy wayH1870 securelyH983, and thy footH7272 shall notH3808 stumbleH5062.

24When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt notH3808 be afraidH6342: yea, thou shalt lieH7901 downH7901, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweetH6149.

25Be notH408 afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH3372, neitherH408 of the desolation of the wickedH7563, when it cometh:

26For the LORDH3068 shall be thy confidenceH3689, and shall keepH8104 thy footH7272 from beingH1961 takenH1961.
