Proverbs 6:20-26 - Commandment And Instruction As Guardians

²⁰ Keep your father's commands, my son, and never forsake your mother's rules, ²¹ by binding them to your heart continuously, fastening them around your neck. ²² During your travels wisdom will lead you; she will watch over you while you rest; and when you are startled from your sleep, she will commune with you. ²³ Because the command is a lamp and the Law a light, rebukes that discipline are a way of life ²⁴ to protect you from the evil woman, from the words of the seductive woman. ²⁵ Do not focus on her beauty in your mind, nor allow her to take you prisoner with her flirting eyes, ²⁶ because the price of a whore is a loaf of bread, and an adulterous woman stalks a man's precious life.
