The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens (3:19) By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew (3:20) My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: (3:21) So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck (3:22) Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble (3:23) When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet (3:24) Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh (3:25) For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken (3:26) Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do [it] (3:27) Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee (3:28) Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee (3:29) Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm (3:30) Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways (3:31) For the froward [is] abomination to the Lord: but his secret [is] with the righteous (3:32) The curse of the Lord [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just (3:33) Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly (3:34) The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools
(3:35)
