²¹ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes:
keep sound wisdom and discretion:
²² so shall they be life unto thy soul,
and grace to thy neck.
²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
and thy foot shall not stumble.
²⁴ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:
yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear,
neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
²⁶ For the Lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

²⁵ As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more:
    but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

²⁹ The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
    but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

³⁰ The righteous shall never be removed:
    but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
