Proverbs 6:20-23

Expanded Bible

²⁰ My son, ·keep [protect] your father’s commands,
    and don’t ·forget [^Labandon; forsake] your mother’s ·teaching [instruction].
²¹ ·Keep their words in mind [^LBind them to your heart] forever
    ·as though you had them tied [fasten them] around your neck.
²² They will ·guide [lead] you when you walk.
    They will ·guard [protect] you when you sleep.
    They will ·speak to you [or occupy your attention] when you are awake.
²³ These commands are like a lamp;
    this ·teaching [instruction] is like a light [^Cmaking things clear].
And ·the correction that comes from them [^Ldisciplined correction]
    ·will help you have [^Lis the path of] life.
