Proverbs 3:13-26 - Wisdom Brings Happiness

¹³ Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. ¹⁴ For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold. ¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her. ¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand are riches and honor. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her. ¹⁹ LORD by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding he established the heavens. ²⁰ By his knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew. ²¹ My son, let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion, ²² so they shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck. ²³ Then thou shall walk in thy way securely, and thy foot shall not stumble. ²⁴ When thou lay down, thou shall not be afraid. Yea, thou shall lay down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. ²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. ²⁶ For LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.
