Proverbs 3:20-29 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew.

21. My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion,

22. And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self).

23. Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. [Ps. 91:11, 12; Prov. 10:9.]

24. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

25. Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless],

26. For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger].

27. Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it. [Rom. 13:7; Gal. 6:10.]

28. Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it–when you have it with you. [Lev. 19:13; Deut. 24:15.]

29. Do not contrive or dig up or cultivate evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly and confidently beside you.
