Proverbs 3:16-25

¹⁶On the one hand, wisdom PRS enables you to live a long life, and on the other hand, wisdom enables you to become rich and to be honored.

¹⁷If you are wise, your life will be pleasant, and things will go well for you.

¹⁸Wisdom is like a tree that gives long life to those who eagerly take hold of it, and Yahweh is pleased with those who hold onto it tightly.

¹⁹By his wisdom Yahweh created the earth, and by his understanding he put everything in the skies.

²⁰By his knowledge he caused the water that was beneath the earth to burst forth, and he caused rain to fall from the clouds.

²¹My son, always keep doing things that are right and things that are smart. If you do that,

²²you will live many years and be honored and respected {people will honor and respect you}.

²³If you do what is right and wise, you will be able to walk safely, and you will not ◄stumble/do things that are wrong► MET.

²⁴You will be able to lie down at night and not be afraid of anything, and you will sleep peacefully.

²⁵You will not be afraid that something disastrous will happen to you or that storms that strike the wicked will strike you,
