Proverbs 3:17-24

¹⁷Her ways are good ways, and all her paths are peaceful.

¹⁸She is a tree of life to all that lay hold upon her; and she is a secure help to all that stay themselves on her, as on the Lord.

¹⁹God by wisdom founded the earth, and by prudence he prepared the heavens.

²⁰By understanding were the depths broken up, and the clouds dropped water.

²¹My son, let them not pass from thee, but keep my counsel and understanding:

²²that thy soul may live, and that there may be grace round thy neck;

^22aand it shall be health to thy flesh, and safety to thy bones:

²³that thou mayest go confidently in peace in all thy ways, and that thy foot may not stumble.

²⁴For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.
