Proverbs 3:16-25

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

¹⁷The ways thereof be fair ways, and all the paths thereof be peaceable. (Its way be fair ways, and all its paths be peaceful.)

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

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

²⁰The depths of waters brake out by his wisdom; and (the) clouds waxed (al)together with dew.

²¹My son, these things float not away from thine eyes; keep thou my law, and my counsel; (My son, let not these things float away from thine eyes; keep thou my instructions, and my advice, near to thee;)

²²and life shall be to thy soul, and grace to thy cheeks. (and thou shalt have life, and gain favour.)

²³Then thou shalt go trustily in thy way (or Then thou shalt go with trust on 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. (When thou shalt sleep, thou shalt not fear; thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.)

²⁵Dread thou not of sudden fear, and the powers of wicked men falling in on thee. (Fear thou not sudden disaster, and the power, or the might, of the wicked falling in upon thee.)
