Proverbs 3:21-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 Maintain your competence and discretion.
My son, don’t lose sight of them.(A)
22 They will be life for you[a][b](B)
and adornment[c] for your neck.
23 Then you will go safely on your way;
your foot will not stumble.(C)
24 When you lie[d] down, you will not be afraid;(D)
you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.
25 Don’t fear sudden danger
or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,(E)
26 for the Lord will be your confidence[e]
and will keep your foot from a snare.(F)
