18. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her.Happy is everyone who retains her.
19. By wisdom the Lord founded the earth.By understanding, he established the heavens.

21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes.Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22. so they will be life to your soul,and grace for your neck.
23. Then you shall walk in your way securely.Your foot won’t stumble.
24. When you lie down, you will not be afraid.Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
