Proverbs 6

Warning against Adultery

20 My son, keep your father’s command,

and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.  * 6:20 Pr 1:8; 31:1

21 Always bind them to your heart;

tie them around your neck.  * 6:21 Pr 1:9; 3:3; 7:3

22 When you walk here and there, they will guide you;

when you lie down, they will watch over you;

when you wake up, they will talk to you.

23 For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light,  * 6:23 Ps 119:105

and corrective discipline is the way to life.  * 6:23 Pr 3:1–2; 4:4; 7:2; 19:16
