21 My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but observe wisdom and counsel.

22 So they shall be life to thy soul, and grace unto thy [a]neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk safely by the way: and thy foot shall not stumble.

24 If thou sleepest, thou shalt not be afraid: and when thou sleepest, thy sleep shall be sweet.

25 [b]Thou shalt not fear for any sudden fear, neither for destruction of the wicked, when it cometh.

26 For the Lord shall be for thine assurance, and shall preserve thy foot from taking.
