Proverbs 3:19-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
    by understanding he established the heavens;
²⁰ by his knowledge the deeps broke forth,
    and the clouds drop down the dew.

²¹ My son, keep sound wisdom and discretion;
    let them not escape from your sight,^[a]
22 and they will be life for your soul
    and adornment for your neck.
²³ Then you will walk on your way securely
    and your foot will not stumble.
²⁴ If you sit down,^[b] you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
