20 My son, comply with the commandment of your father,

And do not ignore the *teaching of your mother;

21 Bind them continually on your heart;

Tie them around your neck.

22 When you walk, *they will guide you;

When you sleep, *they will watch over you;

And when you awake, *they will talk to you.

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

And rebukes for discipline are the way of life
