²¹ My child, use common sense
and sound judgment!
    Always keep them in mind.
²² They will help you to live
    a long and beautiful life.
²³ You will walk safely
    and never stumble;
²⁴ you will rest without a worry
    and sleep soundly.
²⁵ So don't be afraid
    of sudden disasters
or storms that strike
    those who are evil.
²⁶ You can be sure that the Lord
    will protect you from harm.
