'Lamp' in the Bible

For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light,And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life,

The light of the righteous [within him—grows brighter and] rejoices,But the lamp of the wicked [is a temporary light and] goes out.

Whoever curses his father or his mother,His lamp [of life] will be extinguished in time of darkness.

The spirit (conscience) of man is the lamp of the Lord,Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being.

Haughty and arrogant eyes and a proud heart,The lamp of the wicked [their self-centered pride], is sin [in the eyes of God].

For there will be no future for the evil man;The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

She sees that her gain is good;Her lamp does not go out, but it burns continually through the night [she is prepared for whatever lies ahead].
