20 My son, comply with the commandment of your father,
And do not ignore the 6:20 Or lawteaching of your mother;
21 Bind them continually on your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, 6:22 Lit shethey will guide you;
When you sleep, 6:22 Lit shethey will watch over you;
And when you awake, 6:22 Lit shethey will talk to you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp and the 6:23 Or lawteaching is light;
And rebukes for discipline are the way of life
