20 *My son, keep your father’s commandment,

*and forsake not your mother’s teaching.

21 *Bind them on your heart always;

*tie them around your neck.

22 *When you walk, they* will lead you;

*when you lie down, they will *watch over you;

and when you awake, they will talk with you.

23 For the commandment is *a lamp and the teaching a light,

and the *reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
