Proverbs 3:21-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ My child, do not let these escape from your sight:
    keep sound wisdom and prudence,
²² and they will be life for your soul
    and adornment for your neck.^(A)
23 Then you will walk on your way securely,
    and your foot will not stumble.^(B)
24 If you sit down,^[a] you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
²⁵ Then you will not be afraid of sudden panic
    or of the storm that strikes the wicked,^(C)
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
    and will keep your foot from being caught.
