Proverbs 6:20-23

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ My son, keep your father’s commands.
    Don’t forget your mother’s teaching.
²¹ Remember their words forever.
    Let it be as if they were tied around your neck.
²² They will guide you when you walk.
    They will guard you while you sleep.
    They will speak to you when you are awake.
²³ Their commands are like a lamp.
    Their teaching is like a light.
And the correction that comes from them
    helps you have life.
