20. My son, keep your father’s commands,and don’t forget your mother’s teaching.
21. Keep their words in mind foreveras though you had them tied around your neck.
22. They will guide you when you walk.They will guard you when you sleep.They will speak to you when you are awake.
23. These commands are like a lamp;this teaching is like a light.And the correction that comes from themwill help you have life.
24. They will keep you from sinful womenand from the pleasing words of another man’s unfaithful wife.
