6:20 My child, guard the commands of your father
and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
6:21 Bind them 1 on your heart continually;
fasten them around your neck.
6:22 When you walk about, 2 they 3 will guide you;
when you lie down, they will watch over you;
when you wake up, 4 they will talk 5 to you.
6:23 For the commandments 6 are like 7 a lamp, 8
instruction is like a light,
and rebukes of discipline are like 9 the road leading to life, 10
6:24 by keeping 11 you from the evil woman, 12
from the smooth tongue of 13 the loose woman. 14
6:25 Do not lust 15 in your heart for her beauty,
and do not let her captivate you with her alluring eyes; 16
