God’s Wisdom in Creation

¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
   by understanding he established the heavens;
²⁰ by his knowledge the deeps broke open,
   and the clouds drop down the dew.

The True Security

²¹ My child, do not let these escape from your sight:
   keep sound wisdom and prudence,
²² and they will be life for your soul
   and adornment for your neck.
²³ Then you will walk on your way securely
   and your foot will not stumble.
²⁴ If you sit down,^* you will not be afraid;
   when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
²⁵ Do not be afraid of sudden panic,
   or of the storm that strikes the wicked;
²⁶ for the Lord will be your confidence
   and will keep your foot from being caught.
