Proverbs 3:22 Context
20By his knowledge the depthes are broken vp; and the cloudes droppe downe the dew. 21¶ My sonne, let not them depart from thine eyes: keepe sound wisedome and discretion. 22So shall they bee life vnto thy soule, and grace to thy necke. 23Then shalt thou walke in thy way safely, & thy foot shall not stumble. 24When thou lyest downe, thou shalt not be afraide: yea, thou shalt lye downe, and thy sleepe shalbe sweet.
