[20] My son, keep your father's commands and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

[21] Bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them around your neck.

[22] When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

[23] For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,

[24] keeping you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.
