discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,
Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble. If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
