Text -- Proverbs 3:21-35 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
3:21 My child, do not let them escape from your sight; safeguard sound wisdom and discretion. 3:22 So they will give life to you, and grace to adorn your neck. 3:23 Then you will walk on your way with security, and you will not stumble. 3:24 When you lie down you will not be filled with fear; when you lie down your sleep will be pleasant. 3:25 You will not be afraid of sudden disaster, or when destruction overtakes the wicked; 3:26 for the Lord will be the source of your confidence, and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.
Wisdom Demonstrated in Relationships with People
3:27 Do not withhold good from those who need it, when you have the ability to help. 3:28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it,” when you have it with you at the time. 3:29 Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly. 3:30 Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly. 3:31 Do not envy a violent man, and do not choose to imitate any of his ways; 3:32 for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright. 3:33 The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. 3:34 Although he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, yet he shows favor to the humble. 3:35 The wise inherit honor, but he holds fools up to public contempt.
