Proverbs 6:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you lie down, they will watch over you;
when you awaken, they will instruct you.
23 For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light,[a]
and the corrections of discipline point the way to life,
24 to preserve you from an immoral woman,
from the seductive tongue of an adulteress.

New International Version
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(A)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(B)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(C)
