Proverbs 6:23

New Catholic Bible

²³For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light,^[a]
and the corrections of discipline point the way to life,

Proverbs 6:23 Lamp . . . light: similar to the theme of the psalmist: “[The word of God] is a lamp for my feet and a light to my path” (Ps 119:105; see also Ps 19:9).

Proverbs 6:23

And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

²³For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,^(A)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,^(B)
