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

²⁰ Observe thou, my son, the commandment of thy father, and do not decline from the instruction of thy mother: ²¹ Bind them upon thy heart continually, fasten them upon thy neck; ²² When thou walkest abroad, it shall guide thee, when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee, when thou wakest, it shall speak to thee: ²³ For, a lamp, is the commandment, and, the instruction, a light, and, the way of life, are the reproofs of correction: ²⁴ To keep thee from the wicked woman, from the flattery of the tongue of her that is a stranger. ²⁵ Do not covet her beauty, in thy heart, neither let her take thee, by her eyelashes; ²⁶ Because, for the sake of an impure woman, a man may be brought even to a cake of bread, - and, a man's wife, for a precious soul, may hunt!
