20. My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21. Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.
22. When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26. For on account of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
29. So he that goeth in to his nieghbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
