Proverbs 3:21-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. My son, let not these things move away from your eyes. Preserve law as well as counsel.

22. And so shall there be life in your soul and grace in your voice.

23. Then you shall walk confidently in your way, and your feet will not stumble.

24. When you slumber, you shall not fear. When you rest, your sleep also will be sweet.

25. Do not fear unexpected terror, nor the power of the impious falling upon you.

26. For the Lord will be at your side, and he will guard your feet, so that you may not be seized.

27. Do not prevent him who is able from doing good. When you are able, do good yourself too.

28. Do not say to your friend: "Go away, and then return. Tomorrow I will give to you." When you are able to do so, give in the present.

29. Do not undertake evil against your friend, even though he has trust in you.

30. Do not contend against a man without cause, even though he has done no evil to you.

31. Do not rival an unjust man, and do not imitate his ways.
