18 She is a tree of life to those who grasp her,and those who hold her fast are happy.
19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth,established the heavens by understanding;
20 By his knowledge the depths are split,and the clouds drop down dew.
21 My son, do not let these slip from your sight:hold to deliberation and planning;
22 So will they be life to your soul,and an adornment for your neck.
23 Then you may go your way securely;your foot will never stumble;
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid,when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
