21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion;
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
21 My son, do not lose sight of these-- keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21 Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life; don't for a minute lose sight of them.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes-- Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
21 My child, don't lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them,
23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.
23 You'll travel safely, you'll neither tire nor trip.
23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble.
23 They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble.
(Read Proverbs 3:21-26)
Let us not suffer Christ's words to depart from us, but keep sound wisdom and discretion; then shall we walk safely in his ways. The natural life, and all that belongs to it, shall be under the protection of God's providence; the spiritual life, and all its interests, under the protection of his grace, so that we shall be kept from falling into sin or trouble.
