Proverbs 3 — Context

My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.

So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.

Then you will go safely on your way, and your feet will have no cause for slipping.

When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.

Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:

For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.

Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
