19 (A)The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
    by understanding (B)he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge (C)the deeps broke open,
    and (D)the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, (E)do not lose sight of these—
    keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be (F)life for your soul
    and (G)adornment for your neck.
23 (H)Then you will walk on your way securely,
    (I)and your foot will not stumble.
24 (J)If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, (K)your sleep will be sweet.

    preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22 they will be life for you,(F)
    an ornament to grace your neck.(G)
23 Then you will go on your way in safety,(H)
    and your foot will not stumble.(I)
