18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retains her.
19. The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.
20. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21. My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22. So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.
23. Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.
24. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
25. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the ruin from the wicked, when it comes.
26. For the LORD shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being snared.
