Proverbs 6:20-25 My son, preserve the instruction of your father, And do not abandon the law of your mother."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ My son, preserve the instruction of your father, And do not abandon the law of your mother." ²¹ Tie them upon your heart continually; Wind them about your throat. ²² When you walk about, it shall give you guidance, When you lie down, it shall guard over you, And when you awake, it shall importune you." ²³ For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of discipline are the way to life, ²⁴ To keep you from the evil woman, From the slick tongue of the foreign woman." ²⁵ Do not covet after her loveliness in your heart, And do not let her captivate you with her eyelids."
