Proverbs 3:13-26
English Standard Version
Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom
13 (A)Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 (B)for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than (C)gold.
15 She is more precious than (D)jewels,
and (E)nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 (F)Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are (G)riches and honor.
17 Her (H)ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is (I)a tree of life to those who (J)lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
19 (K)The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding (L)he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge (M)the deeps broke open,
and (N)the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, (O)do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be (P)life for your soul
and (Q)adornment for your neck.
23 (R)Then you will walk on your way securely,
(S)and your foot will not stumble.
24 (T)If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, (U)your sleep will be sweet.
25 (V)Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of (W)the ruin[a] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will (X)keep your foot from being caught.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Wisdom Brings Happiness
13 Happy is a man who finds wisdom(A)
and who acquires understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver,
and her revenue is better than gold.(B)
15 She is more precious than jewels;(C)
nothing you desire compares with her.(D)
16 Long life[a] is in her right hand;
in her left, riches and honor.(E)
17 Her ways are pleasant,(F)
and all her paths, peaceful.
18 She is a tree of life(G) to those who embrace her,
and those who hold on to her are happy.
19 The Lord founded the earth by wisdom(H)
and established the heavens by understanding.
20 By His knowledge the watery depths broke open,(I)
and the clouds dripped with dew.(J)
21 Maintain your competence and discretion.
My son, don’t lose sight of them.(K)
22 They will be life for you[b][c](L)
and adornment[d] for your neck.
23 Then you will go safely on your way;
your foot will not stumble.(M)
24 When you lie[e] down, you will not be afraid;(N)
you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
25 Don’t fear sudden danger
or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,(O)
26 for the Lord will be your confidence[f]
and will keep your foot from a snare.(P)
