Proverbs 3:23
21 My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.
22 They will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
