| The fear of others lays a snare, but one who trusts in the Lord is secure. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
| Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |
|
| Our steps are made firm by the Lord, when he delights in our way. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
| The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps. | A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. |
| I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
| Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
| Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives; those who open wide their lips come to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
| For the customs of the peoples are false: a tree from the forest is cut down, and worked with an ax by the hands of an artisan; people deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move. Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor is it in them to do good. | For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. |
