Proverbs 6:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² When you walk, they will guide you.
    When you sleep, they will watch over you.
    When you wake up, they will speak to you.
²³ Your father’s command is like a lamp.
    Your mother’s teaching is like a light.
And whatever instructs and corrects you
    leads to life.
²⁴ It keeps you from your neighbor’s wife.
    It keeps you from the smooth talk of a woman who commits adultery.
