Proverbs

²¹My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion, ²²And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self). ²³Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. [Ps. 91:11, 12; Prov. 10:9.] ²⁴When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. ²⁵Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless], ²⁶For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger]. ²⁷Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it. [Rom. 13:7; Gal. 6:10.]
