²¹ My ·child [^Lson], ·hold on to [protect] ·wisdom [resourcefulness] and ·good sense [discretion].
    Don’t let them ·out of your sight [^Lslip from your eyes].
²² They will give you life
    and ·beauty like a necklace [^Lan ornament] around your neck.
²³ Then you will ·go your way [walk on your path; ^Cof life] in safety,
    and ·you will not get hurt [^Lyour foot will not stumble].
²⁴ When you lie down, you won’t be afraid;
    when you lie down, you will sleep in peace.
²⁵ You won’t be afraid of sudden ·trouble [terror];
    you won’t fear the ruin that comes to the wicked,
²⁶ because the Lord will ·keep you safe [be your confidence].
    He will ·keep you from being trapped [guard your feet from capture].
