Proverbs 3:13-26 - Wisdom Brings Happiness

¹³ How happy the man who hath found wisdom, and the man who draweth forth understanding, ¹⁴ For better is her merchandise, than the merchandise of silver, yea, than gold, her increase; ¹⁵ More precious, is she, than corals, yea, none of thy delightful things, doth equal her: ¹⁶ Length of days, is in her right hand, in her left, are riches and honour; ¹⁷ Her ways, are ways of pleasantness, and, all her paths, are peace; ¹⁸ A tree of life, is she, to them who secure her, - and, they who hold her fast, are every one to be pronounced happy. ¹⁹ Yahweh, in wisdom, founded the earth, establishing the heavens with understanding; ²⁰ By his knowledge, the resounding deeps were burst open, and, the skies, drop down dew. ²¹ My son, let them not depart from thine eyes, guard thou counsel, and purpose: ²² So shall they become life to thy soul, and an adorning to thy neck; ²³ Then, shalt thou walk securely in thy way, and, thy foot, shall not stumble; ²⁴ When thou sittest down, thou shalt have no dread, yea thou shalt lie down, and sweet shall be thy sleep. ²⁵ Be not thou afraid of sudden dread, nor of the desolation of the lawless, when it cometh. ²⁶ For, Yahweh, will be in all thy ways, and will keep thy foot from the snare.
