Proverbs 3:21-26

New International Reader's Version

²¹ My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight.
    Hold on to good sense and the understanding of what is right.
²² They will be life for you.
    They will be like a gracious necklace around your neck.
²³ Then you will go on your way in safety.
    You will not trip and fall.
²⁴ When you lie down, you won’t be afraid.
    When you lie down, you will sleep soundly.
²⁵ Don’t be terrified by sudden trouble.
    Don’t be afraid when sinners are destroyed.
²⁶ The Lord will be at your side.
    He will keep your feet from being caught in a trap.
