33  but ^swhoever listens to me will dwell secure

and will be ^tat ease, without dread of disaster.”

21  My son, ^hdo not lose sight of these—

keep sound wisdom and discretion,

22  and they will be ⁱlife for your soul

and ^jadornment for your neck.

23  ^kThen you will walk on your way securely,

^land your foot will not stumble.

24  ^mIf you lie down, you will not be afraid;

when you lie down, ⁿyour sleep will be sweet.

25  ^oDo not be afraid of sudden terror

or of ^pthe ruin¹ of the wicked, when it comes,

26  for the Lord will be your confidence

and will ^qkeep your foot from being caught.

25  When ^othe tempest passes, the wicked is no more,

but ^pthe righteous is established forever.

29  ^uThe way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,

but destruction to evildoers.

30  ^vThe righteous will never be removed,

but ^wthe wicked will not dwell in the land.

3  No one is established by wickedness,

but the root of ^cthe righteous will never be moved.

23  The fear of the Lord ^lleads to life,

and whoever has it rests ^msatisfied;

he will ⁿnot be visited by harm.

26  Whoever ^utrusts in his own mind is a fool,

but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

25  ⁱThe fear of man lays a snare,

but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
