Proverbs 3:21-26
Lexham English Bible
21 My child, may they[a] not escape from your sight;[b]
may you keep sound wisdom and prudence.
22 They shall be life for your soul[c]
and adornment[d] for your neck.
23 Then you will walk in the confidence of your ways,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you sit down, you will not panic,[e]
and if you lie down, then your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden panic,[f]
or the storm of wickedness that will come.
26 Yahweh will be your confidence[g]
and guard your foot from capture.
