Proverbs 6:20-25

20My son, obey the command of your father, and do not disregard the teachings of your mother.

21Fasten them on your heart forever. Hang them around your neck.

22When you walk around, they will lead you. When you lie down, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will talk to you

23because the command is a lamp, the teachings are a light, and the warnings from discipline are the path of life

24to keep you from an evil woman and from the smooth talk of a loose woman.

25Do not desire her beauty in your heart. Do not let her catch you with her eyes.
