Proverbs 6:20-25

Proverbs 6:20-25 CSB

My son, keep your father’s command, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.  Always bind them to your heart; tie them around your neck.  When you walk here and there, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you. For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light,  and corrective discipline is the way to life.  They will protect you from an evil woman,  from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman.  Don’t lust in your heart for her beauty  or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.
