Compare all

17 ^aHer ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

18 She is ^aa tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who¹ retain her.

19 ^aThe Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;

20 By His knowledge the depths were ^abroken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;

22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.

23 ^aThen you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 ^aDo not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
