20. My son, keep your father’s command;don’t abandon your mother’s instruction.
21. Bind them on your heart for all time;fasten them around your neck.
22. When you walk around, they will lead you;when you lie down, they will protect you;when you awake, they will occupy your attention.
23. The commandment is a lamp and instruction a light;corrective teaching is the path of life.
24. They guard you from the evil woman,from the flattering tongue of the foreign woman.
25. Don’t desire her beauty in secret;don’t let her take you in with her eyelashes,
26. for a prostitute costs a loaf of bread,but a married woman hunts for a man’s very life.
