17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
19. Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
20. By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
21. My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22. So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.
23. Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.
24. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25. Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:
26. For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.
27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
