⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.

⁸ “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
    “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
⁹ For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so my ways are higher than your ways
    and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

⁷ Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
    but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
