21 My son, (A)let them not deviate from your eyes;
Guard sound wisdom and discretion,
22 So they will be (B)life for your soul
And (C)grace for 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 in dread;
You will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
25 (G)Do not be afraid of sudden dread
Nor of the (H)storm of the wicked when it comes;

And will (I)keep your foot from being caught.
