Proverbs 3:13-26 - Wisdom Brings Happiness

¹³ Well is him that findeth wisdom, and obtaineth understanding, ¹⁴ for the getting of it is better than any merchandise of silver, and the profit of it is better than gold. ¹⁵ Wisdom is more worth than precious stones, and all the things that thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. ¹⁶ Upon her righthand is long life, and upon her left hand is riches and honour. ¹⁷ Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peaceable. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, and blessed are they that keep her fast. ¹⁹ With wisdom hath the LORD laid the foundation of the earth, and through understanding hath he established the heavens. ²⁰ Through his wisdom the depths break up, and the clouds drop down of the dew. ²¹ My son, let not these things depart from thine eyes, but keep my law and my counsel: ²² So shall it be life unto thy soul, and grace unto thy mouth. ²³ Then shalt thou walk safely in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble. ²⁴ If thou sleepest thou shalt not be afraid, but shall take thy rest and sleep sweetly. ²⁵ Thou needest not to be afraid of any sudden fear, neither for the violent rushing of the ungodly, when it cometh. ²⁶ For the LORD shall be beside thee, and keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
