19. The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens.

21. My son, let not them 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 the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31. Envy thou not the man of violence, and choose none of his ways.
32. For the perverse is an abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the upright.
33. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked; but he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
