20 My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)

And do not *reject the teaching of your mother; [Eph 6:1-3]

21 Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts),

And tie them around your neck. [Prov 3:3; 7:3]

22 When you walk about, they (the godly teachings of your parents) will guide you;

When you sleep, they will keep watch over you;

And when you awake, they will talk to you.

23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light,

And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life, [Ps 19:8; 119:105]
