21 My son, (A)let them not [a]vanish from your sight;
Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 So they will be (B)life to your soul
And (C)adornment to your neck.
23 Then you will (D)walk in your way securely
And your foot will not (E)stumble.
24 When you (F)lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 (G)Do not be afraid of sudden fear
Nor of the [b](H)onslaught of the wicked when it comes;
26 For the Lord will be [c]your confidence
And will (I)keep your foot from being caught.
