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

²⁰ My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother: ²¹ Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck. ²² In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you. ²³ For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life. ²⁴ They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman. ²⁵ Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner. ²⁶ For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
