21. My child, hold on to wisdom and good sense.Don’t let them out of your sight.
22. They will give you lifeand beauty like a necklace around your neck.

24. When you lie down, you won’t be afraid;when you lie down, you will sleep in peace.
25. You won’t be afraid of sudden trouble;you won’t fear the ruin that comes to the wicked,
26. because the Lord will keep you safe.He will keep you from being trapped.
27. Whenever you are able,do good to people who need help.
28. If you have what your neighbor asks for,don’t say, “Come back later.I will give it to you tomorrow.”
