Proverbs 1:33
Revised Standard Version
33 but he who listens to me will dwell secure
and will be at ease, without dread of evil.”
Proverbs 3:21-26
Revised Standard Version
The True Security
21 My son, keep sound wisdom and discretion;
let them not escape from your sight,[a]
22 and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you sit down,[b] you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden panic,
or of the ruin[c] of the wicked, when it comes;
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
