Proverbs 3:13-26

Proverbs 3:13-26

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who acquires understanding,

for she is more profitable than silver,
and her gain is better than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire compares with her.

Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.

All her ways are pleasant,
and all her paths are peaceful.

She is a tree of life to those who embrace her,
and those who lay hold of her are blessed.

The LORD founded the earth by wisdom
and established the heavens by understanding.

By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open,
and the clouds dripped with dew.

My son, do not lose sight of this:
Preserve sound judgment and discernment.

They will be life to your soul
and adornment to your neck.

Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.

Do not fear sudden danger
or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

for the LORD will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from the snare.
