Proverbs
Chapters 3:17-23
New International Version Anglicized
17Her ways are pleasant ways,and all her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;those who hold her fast will be blessed.
19By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,and the clouds let drop the dew.
21My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22they will be life for you,an ornament to grace your neck.
23Then you will go on your way in safety,and your foot will not stumble.
