Proverbs 3:15-26

¹⁵It is more precious than all riches; and all things that be desired, may not be comparisoned to this.

¹⁶Length of days is in the right half thereof, and riches and glory be in the left half thereof.

¹⁷The ways thereof be fair ways, and all the paths thereof be peaceable.

¹⁸It is a tree of life to them that take it; and he that holdeth it, is blessed.

¹⁹The Lord founded the earth by wisdom; he stablished heavens by prudence.

²⁰The depths of waters brake out by his wisdom; and clouds waxed alto-gether with dew.

²¹My son, these things float not away or not flow away from thine eyes; keep thou my law, and my counsel;

²²and life shall be to thy soul, and grace to thy cheeks.

²³Then thou shalt go trustily in thy way; and thy foot shall not stumble.

²⁴If thou shalt sleep, thou shalt not dread; thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be soft or and sweet shall be thy sleep.

²⁵Dread thou not of sudden fear, and the powers of wicked men falling in on thee.

²⁶For the Lord shall be at thy side; and he shall keep thy foot, that thou be not taken.
