Proverbs 3:19-35 - Role Of Wisdom In Creation And Society
19 Jehovah has founded the earth by wisdom; by understanding He has founded the heavens. 20 By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; keep sound wisdom and judgment, 22 and they shall be life to your soul and grace to your neck; 23 then you shall walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble. 24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yea, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. 25 Do not be afraid of sudden fear, nor of the destroying of the wicked, when it comes. 26 For Jehovah shall be your hope, and shall keep your foot from being taken. 27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, Go and come back again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it beside you: 29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor, since he dwells trustingly by you. 30 Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm. 31 Do not envy the cruel man, and choose none of his ways. 32 For the crooked man is hateful to Jehovah, but His secret is with the righteous. 33 The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; but He blesses the home of the just. 34 Surely He scorns the scorners; but He gives grace to the lowly. 35 The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
