Proverbs 6:23

Commandment And Instruction As Guardians

²² When you walk about, they will guide you;
When you sleep, they will watch over you;
And when you awake, they will talk to you.
²³ For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light;
And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
²⁴ To keep you from the evil woman,
From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
