Proverbs 3:21-27

English Standard Version

²¹ My son, ^(A)do not lose sight of these—
    keep sound wisdom and discretion,
²² and they will be ^(B)life for your soul
    and ^(C)adornment for your neck.
^23 (D)Then you will walk on your way securely,
    ^(E)and your foot will not stumble.
^24 (F)If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, ^(G)your sleep will be sweet.
^25 (H)Do not be afraid of sudden terror
    or of ^(I)the ruin^[a] of the wicked, when it comes,
²⁶ for the Lord will be your confidence
    and will ^(J)keep your foot from being caught.
^27 (K)Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,^[b]
    when it is in your power to do it.
