Proverbs 3:13-26
Legacy Standard Bible

13 (A)How blessed is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who obtains discernment.
14 For her (B)profit is better than the profit of silver
And her produce better than fine gold.
15 She is (C)more precious than [a]pearls;
And nothing you desire compares with her.
16 (D)Length of days is in her right hand;
In her left hand are (E)riches and glory.
17 Her (F)ways are pleasant ways
And all her pathways are (G)peace.
18 She is a (H)tree of life to those who seize her,
And all those who hold her fast are blessed.
19 Yahweh (I)by wisdom founded the earth,
By discernment He (J)established the heavens.
20 By His knowledge the (K)deeps were split up
And the (L)skies drip with dew.
21 My son, (M)let them not deviate from your eyes;
Guard sound wisdom and discretion,
22 So they will be (N)life for your soul
And (O)grace for your neck.
23 Then you will (P)walk in your way securely
And your foot will not (Q)stumble.
24 When you (R)lie down, you will not be in dread;
You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
25 (S)Do not be afraid of sudden dread
Nor of the (T)storm of the wicked when it comes;
26 For Yahweh will be [b]your confidence
And will (U)keep your foot from being caught.

Proverbs 3:13-26
New American Standard Bible

13 (A)Blessed is a person who finds wisdom,
And one who obtains understanding.
14 For [a]her (B)profit is better than the profit of silver,
And her produce better than gold.
15 She is (C)more precious than [b]jewels,
And nothing you desire compares with her.
16 [c](D)Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are (E)riches and honor.
17 Her (F)ways are pleasant ways,
And all her paths are (G)peace.
18 She is a (H)tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are those who hold on to her.
19 The Lord founded the earth (I)by wisdom,
He (J)established the heavens by understanding.
20 By His knowledge the (K)ocean depths were burst open,
And the (L)clouds drip with dew.
21 My son, see that (M)they do not escape from your sight;
Comply with sound wisdom and discretion,
22 And they will be (N)life to your soul
And (O)adornment to your neck.
23 Then you will (P)walk in your way securely,
And your foot will not (Q)stumble.
24 When you (R)lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 (S)Do not be afraid of sudden danger,
Nor of (T)trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26 For the Lord will be [d]your confidence,
And will (U)keep your foot from being caught.
