19 
The Lord by His wisdom has founded the earth;
By His understanding He has established the heavens.(A)
20 
By His knowledge the deeps were broken up
And the clouds drip with dew.
21 
My son, let them not escape from your sight,
But keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 
And they will be life to your soul (your inner self)
And a gracious adornment to your neck (your outer self).

    and the clouds let drop the dew.

21 My son,(D) do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,(E)
    preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22 they will be life for you,(F)
    an ornament to grace your neck.(G)
